N888BZ, aka "Sticky Stuff" broke the surly bonds this morning. My project was in gestation close to 7 years. The first flight was the most fun I ever had with my pants on!
Sticky Stuff is an RV8-A with a Superior IO-360, Sam James cowl & pants, Aero Composite prop, and Blue Mountain's EFIS-One. Minor tweaking will be required to correct a heavy starboard wing and a yawing requiring slight right rudder to center the ball.
Thanks to my wife, who supported my efforts, to Van's for designing and supporting this beautiful machine, and to my fellow listers -- we learn from those who go before us.
Keep the shiny side up,
