Hello everyone!
Hello RV-8'ers!
I just could not stand it any longer! I bought a RV-8 QB kit and just recieved the emp. Why did I do this you ask? Well, after many flights in my trusty Citabria along side a RV-8 who is struggling to fly slow enough for me I had to do something. I also like the tandom configuration and sliding canopy. 'nough said. So....I am currently setting up shop. I have recieved tool orders and built benches, and now I'm deciding on weather to prime or not to prime.
So, hello everyone. I look forward to reading more on this forum and learning all I can from all of you.
Bill

Welcome to the cult Bill.
Just remember, those rivets don't pound themselves.

Welcome!
Welcome Bill! I too built a QB, actually it should be called a VAFQB8 since this site really does accelerate the build process and keep you motivated during the low points. Good Luck!

New RV-8 Builder
Welcome Bill.
First of all, you chose the pick of the RV litter! You're beginning a wonderful journey, with an incredible destination. I can't believe it's been over thirteen years since I was where you are now. I had all kind of doubts as to the eventual outcome, but what a great ride it was, and continues to be to this day.
Have fun, and keep your eye on the prize!

Welcome
This is certainly the site to join. It has saved me thousands of dollars by reading about the process's others have undertaken first. I have a Citabria too. Love it, put it on floats in the summer...and I am still thinking in the back of my mind that it would be cool to put the RV8 on floats too...this building thing will give you all kinds of crazy ideas...build on...and everyone don't forget to donate to keep this site up and running...
