Actually Brian, I just visited with a builder that made his entire RV-8 wing leading edge wet. He now has something like 85 gallons usable. Using an IO360 with CS prop he will have an endurance of 7+ hours at 200 mph. Way more than my 47 year old bladder and butt could stand. I know this is totally off topic but builders of 8s do away with the bubble canopy and make a turtle deck, add fairings, different home brew wheel pants, different cowlings........the list goes on. It's just that when 1-2 airplanes per week fly off the RV list, the run of the mill is norm. Someone just posted a very inexpensive marine fuel flow system on the RV list. I'm going to email the poster and talk with him about it and will post it later on the KRNet. BTW, paragliding at 9500' over the Swiss Alps and the Mattahorn along with my fuselage coming in yesterday.................................more on Fun Friday!!
