I had the honor and privilege to do the maiden flight of another RV-8.
Built by Enrico Musto, 50 years old, in 50 months.![Big grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
YO-360-A1A from Van's spins a wonderful Catto Three Blades prop, two Pmags with EIC32 controller, GARMIN G3X 10" with roll and pitch autopilot, and Infinity HOTAS stick with flap switch.
Everything went well, a slightly right heavy wing reported and it's almost already adjusted.
Too early to speak about numbers, without wheel and leg pants
. Tests are going on.
It's a great joy to see two RV grins together for the same plane!
Here some photos and a little video.
