Hi All,
I am currently in the planning phase of the build for my RV-8, and I want to call on the experience of all you guys before I go ahead and buy my project and build it.
First of all I am looking at buying the standard kit and I read all about it how it is pre-formed and no special tools required etc, but from you guys with the build experience I wanted to know if there was any special tooling you needed or whether it can be built just from air tools and hand tools?
I have decided on my power plant and I am happy with that but I was wondering what hidden bits people forgot or overlooked if any?
Also I'm looking for options on avionics and wanted all your guys experience who have built and flown the RV's what Avionics systems you preferred and work well? Preferably I want to use a digital interface for PFD and Nav.
Thanks in advance for any advice and opinions.
Luke
