Thanks for the link and advise for uploading my photos.
I purchased this RV-8 last fall, from a guy who purchased it from the owner/builder, Bill Anton who had the forced landing. The guy I bought it from only had it for about a month, he told me that he mentioned to his wife that the plane scared him a bit and she said something like 'I'm not getting in it at all", as soon as I saw it on Tradaplane I called him about it.
I don't know the final results on why the original engine failed, but Bill installed a brand new Lycoming Thunderbolt IO-360 and now I have a great plane with 300 hrs. on the engine.
I purchased 2 Aerovonics AV-30's, Trio EZ pilot and Flyleds landing/taxi lights I hope to get all installed next month.
I did my transitional training with Bruce Bohannon, awesome guy! I also removed the chains and installed the steering linkage bar, a massive improvement as far as I'm concerned, a whole different animal on the ground.
Here goes with the pics.
