First flight in an RV-8 (0 hrs)   Recently updated !


Jack Savage, the local EAA chapter president, owns a beautiful RV-8 which he agreed to show me yesterday. I was lucky enough to go for a ride. It was a quick flight, but I got to fly for awhile and we did an aileron roll as well. Jack stayed low and fast on takeoff for a rapid climb out.

While I love all the RV models, the -8 is definitely the model for me.
