Default My RV-8 is officially an airplane


After 5 1/2 years of construction, my RV-8 is now officially airworthy. Many thanks to everyone that has endured my questions and offered support, especially my co-workers at SteinAir.

Default Awesome

So get the thing in the sky! Good job. Actually building a plane all the way through to completion is something not many can do. Good for you. Hope you get to enjoy it for thousands of fun flying hours. Keep us posted.
