Well after 5 1/2 short years of construction and just a whisker over the advertised quick build construction time I have my RV-8 flying. Has about 10 hours on it now and so far is meeting all expectations. A few little tweaks required here and there but nothing significant. What a great machine, if you are still building keep at it.

Nice looking' plane. Know you're proud/relieved/thrilled/frustrated/excited (pick one). I've been at it for about 5 years and am looking at the light at the end of the tunnel.

Congratulations!

It seems that there is yet another test pilot RVAtor in the sky. It must be an endorsement for the design that so many qualified guys build RV's. Congrats. Safe flying.
