I look forward to looking at Brent's build site everyday, along with Jeff Mitchell's and Steve Riffe's.

A special note is Bob Ellis's site www.rv-8.co.uk I have been learning a great deal here too!

Keep up the great work gents!

Don

I have a few pages of pics on EAA326's chapter webpage. You can access it thru the link in my signature. It's more pictorial than technical.
My RV-8 was built with an auto conversion. A turbocharged Mazda rotary engine. So those curious about alternative engines might find it useful.
I flew it 16 hours but only enjoyed the experience for a few minutes, although I did enjoy building it. I plan to mount the complete Mazda power egg on a 'Snowplane' aka 'Aerosled', or an Airboat.
I'm posting the RV8 conversion to Lycoming power now.

Updated list would be great! I'm getting ready to order my kit.

Kilo Hotel was a good read.

Hey Don, I keep checking your log--I see you are making very steady progress. I hope my log has been helpful to you and others. I followed Brent's log and Michael Elliot a lot during my build. As noted, some of the older logs are no longer hosted. Sad to see some of them disappear--there is a ton of info out there somewhere! Keep up the good work.

Steve

Please add your blog or kit log if you have one. I check Martin and Steve's blog at least weekly. Yesterday I was stumped on the baffles and found the answer I needed in Steve's blog. I really appreciate the time and extra effort it takes to photo and blog your build.

Thank you to everyone that has done that!
