I've decided to undertake the construction of an airplane! Specifically, I hope to complete a Van's RV-8. The RV-8 is a low wing, tandem 2 place aluminum aircraft noted for durability, excellent handling qualities and old fashioned fun! This blog is intended to allow friends and family to track my progress. The blog is for entertainment purposes only! It is not intended to offer advice or serve as a guide to construction. With that said, I hope you'll enjoy following my construction journey.
About Me
- RV-8 Builder
- I'm a "still-working" professional who has been blessed with a wonderful, supportive wife, great kids (now grown) and a fulfilling career. I love spending time with my spouse, family and friends, and enjoy "hands-on" recreational projects. I've been enamored with aviation since my "Sky King" Saturday mornings of decades past. I obtained my private ticket while still in my teens, and have enthusiastically participated in a variety of aviation related endeavors since. I currently fly a factory-built composite single engine aircraft. However, the actual "nuts and bolts" of aviation have always fascinated me. I've considered building my own plane for years, With the support of my wife, I'm undertaking what I anticipate to be a multi-year project. While I'm reasonably good with my hands, I realize that this project is going to require a whole new knowledge and skill set. I've never "blogged", but figure that trying to master this communication medium will carry its own challenges and rewards. I enjoy journeys as much as destinations, and have no goals for this project other than fun! Hope I can share some of my enthusiasm with you!
