"My other Plane is a 747" - and that's no joke!😎

Very pretty bird, bet she could outrun a wagon 110/100 🤣

Cool gemacht, Gruss 😉

Thanks for sharing - just starting my RV8 wings - your videos are inspirational!

I love your videos and I'm currently planing to build an RV-8 myself. You sharing this is perfect timing! I also had planed to make diagonal side panels! Thank you for sharing!

Very nice build! A friend of mine built an RV-6 and it hooked me on Van’s models. I do like the lines of an 8 the best!

Fantastic video. And builder too. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful plane and clean build!

Great plane. Thanks for your sharing. This airplane is very beautiful.

Excellent build video! Cheers!

Very nice work, something to be proud of for sure, it is a beauty

Looks very nice and clean!

I'm thinking of ordering my RV-8 kit. Your plane looks amazing.

I love your panel!

Danke für den Einblick in deine D-EIGT. Ich kann es kaum abwarten mir meine eigene RV8 zu bauen! :-)

beautiful job !

Love it! Thanks for sharing. I put the clear coat on my fuselage today. It's finished; hope to fly this year. I've taken 5720 photos so far...

Wow, 5720 photos and more to come! I have fingers crossed for your crank replacement.

Epic Video of an Epic Build, brother!

Watched on FlightAware as you flew over to the Bahamas and back. In the plane you built. I do aspire.

Nice job, 8 it's my dream

Quality build…excellent work…I’m building an RV12…almost up to the fuselage.

Incredible 👍👍

Great job, saw your RV8 in Lido ;)

Sehr schönes Video, danke 🙏🏻 fürs Teilen. Beste Grüße von Dennis ✈️

EXELENTE gracias por compartir.

Super awesome!

Beautiful airplane!

Awesome!

Wow! What a beautiful build. Very nicely done. Are you an engineer by trade? I noticed the CAD-cut instrument panel and the laser level on the forward cowl. I figured those might be tricks of the trade? Or perhaps, those are standard RV build techniques? Regardless, it’s apparent that your efforts paid off handsomely.

Yes I´m an engineer but never worked as one. Tools are just like another hobby for me!

Gorgeous. On your most recent videos, what throttle grip/handle are you using? Danke.

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Love it! Are you going to jump the pond again in a few weeks?

No I don´t. But would like next year if travel restrictions permit. I really hope things work out.

Great insight into your build journey. May I visit you at your home airfield to have a closer look at your beautiful -8?

So quickbuild? The crates are so huge

“My other plans is a 747” 😂

how do you know the plane is safe to fly when you have built it/how do you know you didn't screw something up?

When you are building a plane you have to prove it is airworthy. This is done more or less similar in different countries. For me there was a licensed mechanic who looked over the different sections at different times during the build and signed up my work. This together with the final inspection of the completed plane and comments or opinion of a counceler is the basis for the certification. Of course there is always a remaining risk like on everything you do.

Also, because he made his and custom-built it himself outside of a factory, the plane is considered an 'experimental' for legal reasons to put it aside from other factory built aircraft. Good question!

Great video. I have watched it several times, at 5:49 minutes in to it, there is what looks like a fuel cap or access on right side of aircraft above the "T". Could you explain better what I'm looking at? I am interested.

Garry, that is in fact a fuel cap. I installed a removable auxiliary 10Gal fuel tank in the rear baggage compartment.

That done as a P-51 Mustang known as blue nose b@stards?

I wonder. It is safe when build it by ourself
