RV-8 on a Budget

Greetings all,

I'm looking for a VAF post I saw a few years ago, but have not been able to relocate since.

A gentleman on the forums had an impressive post about his RV-8 build. As I recall, his RV-4 was ground looped by another pilot leaving him with $40k in insurance money. limited to this budget he built an RV-8 keeping it as cheap as possible. If I remember right, he had a used O-360, FP wood prop, and single D-10 for avionics.

Does anyone know the guy? I would love to look at his build.

Happy flying!

I did know him (we had a partnership in the same plane) but haven't spoken in many years. He did tell me he had sold the -8 he built the last time we met.
