RV-8 | Fastback

This website details my adventures in aviation to include the building of a Van’s Aircraft RV-8, a single engine, two seat, tail-wheel, fully aerobatic, and cross country capable plane that strives to achieve “Total Performance.” This blog exists as a way to share my experiences with friends, family, and other builders. Building a plane is a huge undertaking, and this site is my opportunity to pass it forward.
I have recently completed my tailwheel endorsement, CFI, CFI-I, Commercial Multi-Engine Add-on and MEI. I also completed a Rotorcraft-Helicopter Private Pilot Add-on, an Instrument Helicopter Add-on, and finally the Commercial Helicopter Pilot Add-on. I will go for my CFI-H, as soon as coronavirus allows. As the shop comes together, I’ll be picking up where I left off with the canopy skirt.
I am fully detailing all the work required for the Show Planes Fastback Build in a separate page. Check it out here.
Index pages are also being separated into various topics. All my flight activities, to include helicopter training, can be found here.
