I am looking at buying an RV8 kit someone has for sale with Quick build fuselage and wings, tail built and wings mostly finished. Fuselage has had some work done but is far from completed. Tail has been drilled to the fuselage and drilled correctly to the plans. Landing gear has not been drilled yet. Kit does not include the finish kit or the firewall forward kit. Obviously I would need an engine, prop, avionics firewall fwd kit and a finishing kit.
This will be my first build, (I build old cars), so I have the mechanical skills but don’t know much about building aircraft
I am leaning towards a Show planes cowling and fastback kit. How much Would the show planes kit eliminate what I need for the finishing kit and/or firewall forward kit. Also, what are the things I would need that I am not thinking of?
Sorry for the long post. I’m here to learn.
