Kevin, congrats on a great beginning of your project. 4+ months with family is a pretty decent build rate for the emp. Keep up the good work!

Another RV-8 First Flight
N317DC took to the sky for the first time over Northern Nevada on a dawn patrol launch at 06:00 10 Jul 12. Absolutely a joy to fly. Exceeded all expectations. Planning 40 hours Phase I over Stead then fly her up to Medford for paint. Hanger doors will be open during the Reno Air Races. Come on by, get out of the sun and have a cold one. Thanks for sharing all the great information on this site.

Dave, may I ask what canopy you used. Have been mulling over tint vs. non-tint options, and was worried about tint being too dark for night ops, but yours looks just about right for day or night ops - nice looking bird - congrats!

Canopy tint
That is a Todds canopy on my RV-8 I am very pleased with tint and shape. I haven't flown on a dark and stormy night with yet but I think it will be just fine.
