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.ch/)

I have decided to equip my plane with the following:

A Lycoming or clone io-360
Grand Rapids Technologies EFIS Sport
Grand Rapids Technologies EIS 4000 Engine Monitor
Garmin SL-40 VHF transceiver
Flightcom 403 stereo intercom
Trio Avionics EZ Pilot autopilot
Narco AT-155 Transponder
Ameri-king AK-450 ELT
Odyssey PC680 Batteries (2)
Proprietary Systems Angle of Attack (AOA) Sport
Garmin GPSMAP 196
and some other cool stuff!
