This blog follows the assembly of an all aluminium Van's RV-8A aerobatic 2 place aircraft kit. When completed, the aircraft is inspected by the 'Light Aircraft Association's' approved inspectors and when satisfactory is granted a permit to fly. Aircraft kit no. is #80697

This is a photographic record of my build project and is primarily of use to me and other builders.

L/H Elevator Tab bend

Here you can see that a small 'lolipop' stick is also placed under the 1st bent tab to protect the other tab from damage during the trimming operation. It was Jeremy that made the cut..... I was too nervous.
This L/H elevator build stage takes an enormous amount of work to this stage and I just did not want to cock it up!
