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.
Chris Harrison flew the first UK example of an RV-8A and this was captured on a shaky and noisy camera in video. Best you turn off the sound to view and also use full screen as it's a very tiny shot!!!
