Absolutely superb..! ( Super,wunderbar ) Every pilots dream is to fly your route, green fields, Lakes and castles, TO and Landing at a grass strip..! What a beautiful and historic part of Germany you toured/videoed for us..! And so here I was thinking I was living the dream , building and flying my RV4 in Esperance Western Australia ..! Skyrunner, you have raised the bar sir, well done. Excellent editing and producing a sumptuous flying video..! Danke..!
Absolut phänomenale Aufnahmen. 1984 habe ich in Deutschland das Fliegen gelernt und meinen PPL gemacht. Jetzt werde ich dank Ihrer Inspiration einen RV-14A bauen und vielleicht fliege ich damit nach Deutschland, wenn ich 70 Jahre alt bin! Das wird wohl ein Rekord.
So great to see D-EIGT again! Thanks for sharing this. I've seen a few German castles; Nanstein, Heidelberg, Linderhof. I'd love to return someday. I'm doing my first engine start in my RV-8 this week. I'm hoping it will be flying by the end of March.
I'm sitting here waiting for my RV-8 empennage kit to arrive today. I am going to use your fantastic videos as a source for motivation while building mine. I'm really jealous right now.
@BuildTheFutureYouWant I would say I am doing pretty good so far. It's a little slow as I'm still trying to find the balance between building, life stuff and continually having to buy tools even after getting everything on these "lists". I am hoping to start speeding up in the near future and making real progress. I'm definitely going faster building than I am able to earn the $130k+ this is going to cost me. LOL
@BuildTheFutureYouWant The first thing I learned is that RV builders just don't sell their tools. I do have some RV guys that have loaned me some tools though. It's nice because it motivates me to get the task done so I can return them as soon as possible. lol
Great video! And a very stunning RV8. Very good job! Is any possible to fly in at your local airport for a coffee and a talk? I would fly from Switzerland. So it would be a nice day trip.
@@bibrakc Correct from Emag. It is possible to change timing during flight for example with the Electronic Ignition Commander one at a time. I never had the courage to do it in flight and always preferred doing it on the ground.
@@skyrunner1818 yes, so asking this because if one has to go to places where 100LL is not available then it will be possible to have the fuel diversity by fueling mogas and changing the timing (on ground).
I saw this plane when it visited the Van's factory in Oregon. The video does not do it justice. The fit and finish is pristine! Nice job, Sir.

Hey thanks for your kind words. But you have the better weather there down under for sure. Wish we could share that a bit.

Gute Wahl RV-14A. Bauen und Fliegen haelt uns jung!
Beautiful country and a gorgeous -8!!! Thanks for sharing!

Good luck with first engine start - you will love your -8 !
You are my biggest inspiration as Aircraft Pilot. What an amazing video. Wunderschön. Liebe Grüße aus Kolumbien.

I love your videos, they are so beautifully done. I see you are on your way to KOSH. Have a wonderful trip.
Hi thanks. The timing and direction for Oshkosh is right but it is "only Greenland." Heading back eastwards now.
Spectacular 👍👍
Fantastic!
Great video.
Thank you for the castle tour! Drinking while looping is the best!! Will you be attending OSH this year?
Not sure due Covid travel restrictions - depends. Going with a commercial ticket might be an option.
Great video! And a very stunning RV8. Very good job!
Is any possible to fly in at your local airport for a coffee and a talk?
I would fly from Switzerland. So it would be a nice day trip.
Of course - welcome for both, coffee and plane talk.
@@skyrunner1818 nice,
How can I contact you?
@@flyingchris81 You have an e-mail or phone number? I´ll call you.
Verfolge deine Vids seit geraumer Zeit. Fantastisch. Gruß Markus Müller. D EMBW
Hab mal nach der D-EMBW geschaut. Coole Tour und schade wegen dem Missgeschick auf Island.
@@skyrunner1818 Jochen Haas ist ein Fliegerkamerad in der FGWH Kirchheim. Vielleicht kommen wir mal zu Besuch vorbei.
@@markusmuller3267 Wuerde mich freuen - jederzeit.
⁹👍👍👍👍👍👍
What ignition system do you use?
Installed are two Pmags with auto plugs.
@@skyrunner1818 from E-Mags? So are these able to change timing on the fly if we put 93 mogas or other fuel than 100LL?
