Best Christmas present ever...!
Today 11:34 UTC I got airborne after 1 year and 2 month of building.
The first flight took 20 minutes over the airfield and was smooth and without any stress moments. It flies like on rails...
My RV 8 is now officially a RV 8 CB registered as D-ERVC
Equipped with a Lycoming IO-360 Angle valve, a MT 3 blade counterweight aerobatic prop. and a single 10" dynon skyview with auto pilot.
Simply:
It's a dream!!!
I wish everyone a great Christmas time and happy new year!!

Seriously 1 year and 2 months to build an 8. I cant imagine. Holly cow batman that is some serious production. You sure you used all the bolts and rivets??
Enjoy your new plane, fly safe and fly lots. May 2014 be a heavy flying year.
