An RV-8 Build Log
Yes, I know, it’s been pretty quiet from the blogging front. There’s a reason for that. Read on for a catch up post on all my excuses for the slow down, and what I’m going to do to get back on track!
Late update on the project. Through an epic session, Sam, Alexander, and I were able to make some final progress before Oshkosh. Read on for more detail, and some highlights from the Oshkosh adventure!
Freshly back from some time in Utah, I continue the race towards completing Fuselage Drilling and Prep.
The second half of June has been a mix of Velocity and RV-8 progress. With a little help from Sam I was able to get through a big milestone…the fuselage is enclosed! Read on for more details.
Another Update on the Velocity….lots of work in a short time got the Velocity back to great flying shape. Just in time for Utah! Read on for hopefully the last Velocity update for a while!
It’s time for another Velocity update! A lot has happened since the last update….read on for a long post on all the goings on for my “other” plane.
Sam and I snuck away from the hangar for a few hours to go Visit Mike up in Santa Rosa. He just completed his RV-8 and graciously offered to let us check it out! Read on for the trip logs….
In two epic sessions James and I successfully turned the fuselage into official canoe status! Read on for the fun (and challenging) sessions.
Aft Fuselage coming together with more part prep and priming. Almost time to assembly to attach the tailcone to the Fwd Fuselage!
It was time to start working on the tailcone and in a couple sessions we got pretty close for priming time. Read on for a quick update…
