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 a 'scare' moment in the build process. The elevator is upside down and I'm seen bending the lower tab down. This is so that the upper tab overlaps preventing ingress of water. That's if it all goes OK!
