Through a combination of good luck & NAS1097 shear rivets I don't have to replace the entire mid section skin after making my patch + new doubler without considering the size of the actual connector (only the hole size it needed). #rv8

Thus Shaviv deburring kit is sooooo much nicer than the little handles that come with the builders kits for planes. I wish I had bought it up front! #rv8 #vansaircraft

If you're wondering what the minimum order of titanium skybolts is.. it's 500. The 50 I need would save about the weight of a sandwich over the normal steel ones. #rv8

I've officially switched over all my data and logbook stuff to Garmin Pilot. It'll take some getting used to. Foreflight really made the UI easy. #rv8

I had to hold my tongue and not write a rant to Vans about them stopping the whole company to get RV15 wing kits out. It was going to start; "This may come as a surprise to you, but you do sell other models..". I'm really just super disappointed that I can't work on my finish kit. I could have literally been done with it if I got the parts back in October like they told me I would. #rant #rv8

Rather than shortening & repining the connector for my pitch servo and GHA15, I'm thinking about just solder sleeving the wires together. Any reason I'd ever want to disconnect this? I think Stein only provided a connector here to make it easier to run the wires - the big connectors at the other end are harder than dsub connectors. #rv8

If you use Garmin avionics, you can save about two pounds by using KEY100 hall effect ammeters instead of heavy copper shunts for your main and aux buses. There are easy to find STL files for mounting them, if you want to do so. #rv8

Sometimes I wonder if I should have saved a few years more and ordered a MX2 kit from MX Aircraft. I don't yet know if I'll love Aerobatics, (I had a great first lesson though) but the more I learn about the limitations of Vans aircraft the less I think it'll be what I want. But we'll see. I'm sure the RV-8 will be a blast no matter what. #rv8
