Welcome to our online logbook. My wife Jackie and I started building a Vans RV-8 at the beginning of October 2005. We expect it to take around 5-6 years and cost NZ $200k or so. The basic specs and configuration will be:-

  • Teledyne Mattituck IO360, 180hp engine

  • Catto 3-bladed fixed pitch propeller

  • Night VFR capable, limited 'IFR'

  • Dual AFS-3400 (EFIS & EMS)

  • AFS Angle-of-Attack Pro (separate to EFIS)

  • Garmin 495, SL30, GTX-330

  • PS Engineering PMA-9000EX

  • Trutrak Digiflight II VS autopilot

  • Tom Clark fastback (retaining the sliding canopy)

  • Classic Aero leather seats

  • Hooker 5-point harnesses

  • Infinity Aerospace military-style stick grips

  • Grove aluminium airfoil gear


Nice! Oh, and see that model in the picture? I had that made: that's the colour scheme we'll be using (at least for now). Keep coming back occassionally to see how we're getting on...
