Buck's RV-8
Welcome to the Builder's Log for my RV-8. (The photo above is Chris Pratt's lovely example of an RV-8.) My goal is to share my photos, and document my project, in a way that might help fellow builders as they create their own works of aerial art. Perhaps I can get this airplane finished by Oshkosh 2016! (Or maybe 2017. Or 2018...) N18XL will feature: - All-glass cockpit with two Grand Rapids Technologies HX 6.5" EFISs and a backup Dynon D10A EFIS. - Avidyne IFD440 Com/Nav/GPS - Garmin SL-30 Com/Nav - Garmin GTX-330 transponder with TIS - Garmin 340 audio panel - TruTrak DigiFlight II VSVG autopilot - XM Weather - 195-hp AeroSport IO-375 parallel-valve engine (horizontal induction) - Whirlwind 200RV constant-speed prop - Over 70 custom modifications that will make this a one-of-a-kind, personalized, traveling machine. - Room for a tent and camping gear, which will be my only shelter after going broke from buying all those goodies. ;-) I look forward to sharing the building process with you, and I hope you'll find this log useful and/or interesting!
