RV-8 Fastback photos

OUTSTANDING!!!!!

Deene:

Beautiful job! Congratulations and I hope you enjoy as much as the grin portrays!!!
 
Wow!

This is what the 8 should have looked like from the start. You have one beautiful bird, Deene! Congrats!
 
Wow!

Deene, hope we see you on the ramp somewhere soon! If not, maybe you can pay a visit to Hicks when the weather clears up. Sure want to see that beautiful 8 up close!
 
Very nice plane Sir.

May be an optical illusion, but is the ELT antenna touching your vertical stab.
 
O yeah, that's what I'm talkin' about! You beat me to it!

P.S. that ELT antenna is gonna beat up the paint on the vertical!
 
Very nice plane Sir.

Thanks for all the nice comments.

Yes, I too noticed the closeness of the ELT antenna...will check that out.
 
Agreed...

I agree, that's what the -8 should look like. Plz forward the pics to Van and lets hope the factory will someday have a fastback option. Beautiful!
 
Nice!

Great looking plane Deene! A bit different from the BD-4 days huh? :)

It cracks me up when you guys say "this is how the -8 should look"... the -8 is the -8 and the fastback is the fastback..they are two different birds, two different names both awesome airplanes.
 
Very Nice!

Deene, That is one SWEET ride! Congrats!

Can we get some interior shots? Panel?
