Sorry for taking so long to post a pic of the F1 with the RV8 canopy, missed the post some how.

Sorry they are only first engine run pics, I will drag some of the first flight pics off the camera soon.

Chris, this has been discussed before. The flat root fairings from Van's are around 6-7 knots faster.

Best,
Hey Pierre:

Carry on!
