Rudder Hinge Reinforcing Plates

May 16, 2014 by admin Leave a Comment

Today I began to work on one of the F1 Rocket mods that are needed on the standard RV-8 tail kit, which are to add additional reinforcing plates.  These plates are the same as the ones supplied with the kit, and for these I managed to get some of these extra parts off my buddy Garet as he had some spare reinforcing plates kicking around.

The standard RV parts (R-607PP and R-608PP) both work well, and just need a little trimming to fit on the inside of the spar flanges.

Please comment, I love to hear from my readers.  Thanks again for coming along for this ride, you make my work worthwhile.
