My RV8 finally flies!
Well almost 11 years to the day my slow build RV8 took flight. Flew straight as an arrow, ball centered and no heavy wing issues. Has the ShowPlanes fastback mod and cowling. Garmin G3x avionics. Titan IO-370 engine with an MT 3 blade prop. Only got one flight in before the weather turned bad, can’t wait for more to come.
One more reason to keep pounding rivets!

Congratulations. There is nothing like flying a plane that you built yourself. Be careful in Phase 1!
