Florian Gruenberg’s RV-8 flew for the first time. Here’s what he had to say:
A childhood dream became reality when two passionate builders brought this outstanding aircraft to life. A perfect blend of cross-country performance and pure flying fun.
The first flight of D-EXFL, performed by builders Florian Gruenberg and Lars Schoettler, took place in Bad Neuenahr – Ahrweiler (EDRA), Germany, marking a milestone moment after countless hours in the workshop.
This Van’s RV-8 features a sleek Showplanes fastback canopy, FlyEFII electronic fuel injection, and a Profinity SkyButler iPad mount — combining classic design with modern innovation.
