Van's RV8

A short introduction to the RV8 from Van's aircraft.

Danny King's "Beautiful Doll"

Information about Van's Aircraft RV8 can be found here. http://www.vansaircraft.com/public/rv-8int.htm I chose this plane because I want a tandem, not a side by side seating. Tandem allows the best visibility on either side of the aircraft. When I want to fly side by side, I can use one of our aeroclub's Pipers (http://www.aero-club.ch/)

I have decided to equip my plane with the following:

1. A Mattituck TMXIO-360 engine
2. MGL Odyssey
   
3. Garmin SL-40 VHF transceiver
4. Flightcom 403 stereo intercom
5. Trio Avionics EZ ProPilot autopilot
6. Tryg Mode-S Transponder (waiting for last minute updates)
7. Ameri-king AK-45 ELT - 406 MHz (waiting for price to drop)
8. Odyssey PC680 Battery
9. Proprietary Systems Angle of Attack (AOA) Sport
10. Garmin GPSMAP 196 (a bit old, but we'll see)
