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.

This is the other alignment that is essential. The gap between the elevator and the trim tab must not be less than 1/8th of an inch.

I used a drill bit as a spacer to ensure that the gap met the criteria.
