Greetings all,
I recently acquired an RV-8 QB (fuse and wings) and am looking to put it together as light and cheap as I possibly can (poor pilot here) and am looking for ideas.
I've obtained the required day VFR instrumentation in the form of used steam gauges which I will be using until I can afford the nice toys. ("precision analog instruments" to quote another VAFer.)
My build priorities:
1: Safety
The obvious number one here. Because of this I will not be looking at auto-conversion engines.
2: Cheap!
Willing to go all out here, no wheel pants, no fancy interior, OK with fixed pitch prop etc.
3: Lightweight
Not sure if this is realistic, but I'm going for sub- 1000lbs
Ideas and thoughts are welcome!
Have a great evening all,
