Apparently, you can get an RV built in Russia. Any translators out there who can give us the gist of this site?

Have you read the news lately? We are about 2 steps away from war with Russia.

Here you go. Not sure how well it translates.
Very sure the joke on the page doesn't translate well ;-)

The media says the Russians are already in Georgia, but my recon flights over the weekend did not detect any enemy forces. I'll keep patrolling my sector of middle Georgia and will report any suspicious activity.
Jus' tryin' to help.

Familiar pictures
Some of the pictures on this Russian site are very familiar http://www.cetus.aero/text/76659058. The shot of the formation against the Guadalupe Mountains is certainly distinctive. A cursory search doesn't reveal the photographers but I think I have seen some of the pictures on this site.
Anyone know who took any of these and if permission was solicited for their use?

Bomb
Since I am on the fuselage now should I design a bomb rack, curious if anyone has done this for the RV-8. It would be fun to drop some flour bombs on a weekend fly-in. Of course a waiver would be required from the FAA I guess. I recall some stories of friendly flour bombing competitions long ago.
Rockets that would be cool, yeah that's the ticket
Cheers

Mike,
I have a design in mind, based on Ironflight's (Paul's) tie-down camera mount. My thought was to run wires out the wing conduit, exit the inspection panel next to the tie-down and connect to a solenoid, which would drop the flour bomb. My preliminary design would hold one flour sack per wing so you could make two passes.
No waiver required from the FAA, as far as I know. Home Land Security aka the Gestapo might be another matter.

Hung Ordinance
What happens when the bomb doesn't release and you have to RTB with LIVE flour bombs. Could get ugly. 
Wow: Talk about thread creep!!!!

Interesting. They link both Van's Aircraft and these forums. So, are they acting as importers of Van's kits? Or are they manufacturing their own version? And I wonder how hard it is to get a Lyclone in Russia?
