Hi all,
wasn't sure where this would have been the most appropriate so I figured I would post this in the region I live in.
Like the topic says, I am a new soon to be builder. I have received the preview plans (had to put them in plastic sleeves to protect them from all the drool) for an RV8 and just purchased the RV "from start to finish" book set from kitplanes magazine bookstore. I think I am going to go with the Isham tool set and should have that by mid summer.
My goal is to build an RV8 that is geared for ifr cross country trips and also for formation aerobatics. The Team RV videos have me hooked and I want to join in all the fun.
I have tons of questions for you all and have no idea where to start...lol. I am leaning towards an IO360 but have seen people putting the 390s in 8s. I would love to buy a kit engine and build it myself, mainly for the education value as well as the pride in knowing I did it myself. I am also leaning heavily towards the new dynon glass system for all my avionics needs.
Anywho, just wanted to introduce myself and say hi. I have been reading the forums for awhile and decided what the heck, I can do this. Time to stop dreaming and start doing.
I live in Nashville, TN and if there is anyone that needs a seat warmed in their RV let me know. Will beg for plane rides...lol
I am glad I found these forums.
