What are the best builds sites on RV8. I have checked out quite a few , but there must be few good ones I have missed.
Any recommendations ?

Here are my current favorites (-8 and otherwise):

• Randy Lervold?s RV-8 Sheepskin seats, detailed Whirl Wind prop evaluation.
• Randy?s RV-3 Works The paradigm for simplicity and utility.
• Scott & Tanya Card?s RV-8 Showplanes fastback and canopy.
• Kevin Horton?s RV-8 Excellent documentation and test data.
• BowenAero.com Larry Bowen?s ?Nifty? RV-8.
• RV7Factory.com Brad Oliver?s well-documented RV-7 project.
• The RV Journal Sam Buchanan?s RV-6 project and APRS how-to.
• Toad?s RV-8 Project Nathan Garrett?s detailed build log.

Pre-Punched 8

If you want to follow the pre-punched fuselage 8 I have found Jeff Preou's site to be most useful. Mine mearly supplements/confirms.

During construction I used most of the ones that have been mentioned here. Although I have sold my plane, I left my website up: http://rv8.gwevans.net.
