Dear Enthusiast

First of all I would like to welcome you to this site that documents the construction and operation of my homebuilt aircraft project, the Vans RV-8A. I have long dreamed with building and fly my own aircraft and it is now a dream come true. The site is purely for entertainment purposes and it is intended for the future builder or enthusiast looking for references, as well as to all our friends and family members who so dedicatedly coped with the long hours we devoted to this project.

The drop down menus on the top header will guide throughout the site and the stages of the aircraft construction, you may also click on the photos to see it in a bigger resolution. Please do not hesitate to post me your comments or questions for which I will do my best to answer or direct you to someone who may.

I hope you may find it useful!
