Hi Rusty, just got back from the delayed Lakeland RV fly-in. Great fun & nice flight. Did a maximum performance climb-out on departure which prompted the tower to ask what was under the cowl : )

Hi Tracy,

With any luck, the controllers won't retire before they get to see the 20B RV-8 :-)

The RD-1 input shaft spline is same as stock Ford C6 input shaft. There were 2 versions (30 and 31 teeth). RD-1x uses the 30.

Thanks for the info. Do you happen to know if this same spline was used on any of the manual transmissions?

Cheers,

Rusty

PS, I got home from the hanger today, and found the tail kit for the RV-8 open. The bent skins came untaped, and threw the lid off the box. I think if I wait a little longer, the parts might crawl out of there and start assembling themselves. Gotta love those new Van's kits :-)
