Cheers!
 
Thanks Danny,

Just finished the inventory tonight and hope to get cracking at the firewall tomorrow night. Looks like it's going to be a fun kit to do!

Hung the rudder tonight. That's pretty much it for the tail until it comes time to do the fiberglass work, which I'm saving for a later date.

RV8 Subaru STi Turbo progress
 
Have not posted for some time. 700+ hours into the build and a RV8 is beginning to take shape in the garage.
Engine in and running, panel nearly done, underwing radiators nearly finished and fitted. Wings nearly finished and tanks under way. Empennage finished as are all control surfaces and controls. As soon as the underwing rads are complete the wings will get closed and the fuel tanks finished and fitted. Will try to add some pics....here goes!http://i1277.photobucket.com/albums/...g?t=1362909992http://i1277.photobucket.com/albums/...g?t=1362909951http://i1277.photobucket.com/albums/...g?t=1362909933http://i1277.photobucket.com/albums/...g?t=1362909925http://i1277.photobucket.com/albums/...g?t=1362909917http://i1277.photobucket.com/albums/...g?t=1362908977http://i1277.photobucket.com/albums/...g?t=1362908719http://i1277.photobucket.com/albums/...g?t=1362908791

Moving Day
 
Last Saturday was moving day. My fuselage was loaded on the back of a tilting bed tow truck and went from my garage to a hanger in Livermore, CA LVK. I am busy polishing the wings prepartory to installation and rigging. Ten years and its getting really close.

Regards,

I can't get any of these links to work........ The instructions at the top left of this page are clear enough that if you are this far on your project, you will have no problem posting pictures.... Or you can get the Pizza boy to help you out..............
