FS: Vans RV-8
Sadly, my father is putting up for sale the project of his life. Its an RV-8
homebuilt airplane. About fifteen years ago, I visited my dad and seen a pile of AL sheeting and extruded AL support stock for ribs etc. I spent two days with him fabricating one side of the vertical fin on the tail. I thought, "there ain't no way". Well, only 6000 logged hours of work later, it flew. He went on to outfit it with every conceivable electronic navigation device for full IFR rating. Here's a couples links. Kinda shows what's involved. http://www.rv8.ch/ http://www.vansaircraft.com/public/rv-8int.htm If you're in the market for a meticulously home built aircraft, this is one hell-of-a deal.
