A great resource for Vans builders. Looking at a Steen Skybolt, have been for a couple of years, but aren't that into areos. Went for a flight and the guy told me about an RV8. Have been studying the pages from this forum and are impressed. Anyway, older bloke 59 and about to retire, need a project. Glider pilot, bought a Hornet 15m in 2008, live in Mudgee NSW. Australia. Next step is to find an 8 and go for a flight. Have the preview plans on the way.

Glad to have you aboard there are a lot of RV-Builders "down under" Maybe we will see you at Oshkosh one of these years. You can get a lot of good information on this site. You can also make good suggestions to those of us who are flying our RV's.
Thanks for the welcome. Preview plans have arrived so will be busy for a couple of days studying them. Already have about 50 questions but will post in the appropriate forum
