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:

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