Hey RV'ers,

I've been a little quiet lately on the List because I've been working so hard on the RV-8! I'm happy to report that the Engine, Interior, Wiring, Avionics, and canopy are all complete. Basically all I've got left is some fiberglass around the windscreen, and a few other odds and ends and its time to move it out to the hanger for final assembly! I thought I'd share a few current pictures just for fun.

Test flight in March...?

Well, you'll get there!! I've put about 2200 hours in on the RV-8 project in about the last 18 months... I started it about mid-June of 08. Its a QB.

I've been dreaming about flying my own RV for 21 years now since I first started the RV-4 project way back in 1988!! I was one of the youngest people to be building an RV back then. Now, not so much... Wink

That first flight will definitely be a very special occasion...

Matt,

I'm VERY impressed with all the interior installations. Great job!

Now I realize more than ever just how much work I have ahead of me. Thanks for the inspiration.
