An RV-8 Build Log
It’s time to align the landing gear and final drill for installation! This big milestone takes a lot of measuring, double checking, and just a bit of nerve. Read on for part 1 of the landing gear fitment adventure!
Time to get the wings completed and out of the hangar! Last step before the go on the shelf for a while was the flaps, so it was time to get it done!
Last of the Van’s kits arrived and a “quick” inventory diversion was in order. A few pics and comments on the last of my inventory tasks.
Continuing with the great momentum on the fuselage, we were able to wrap up the “Skin Riveting” section of the plans over a few sessions this weekend. The crew helped move it along, and in this post you’ll catch up on a few challenges we had to overcome.
