@RockwallCNC I had received my tail and wing kits. I had half of the tail kit built when I found out I have laser parts in both of which Van's refused to replace for free other than a few. Between that, and my project increasing $50k, I had to bail. I'm a blue-collar single income guy and this, to me, has become a rich person hobby now. So I am most likely going to sell my kits and just stick to flying my Cheetah.
That was pretty awesome. I knew the RV-8 was pretty aerobatic, but I didn't think it could do all that! I'd be curious to know what kind of motor they put in it?
Very Smooth with excellent throttle management.
Beautiful aircraft and display. 5:43 had me on the edge of the seat lol Great aerobatics. Could watch a lot more of this pilot. Thanks for the video!
Excellent filming
Ugh! I can't wait til my first kit gets here and I can start on mine!
How's your build going? Did you get started?
