After years and years of dreaming, searching and decisions, I came to the point where I decided to settle for the best or nothing. So, with great excitement can I say, is official. My RV8 empennage + toolkit wil be arriving next week. It will be a veeery slow build. I'm planning to start a thread of the build here on the Vans section as well
First pics to follow soon

Re: Finally!! A dream came true. RV8 empennage arrived
An update from my side. Haven't started on the tail yet. My "build corner" is sorted out. Only thing now is to officially start.
Are there any RV builders, specifically RV8 builders, in the Western Cape area that would be so kind to share some knowledge if some questions pop up? Haven't heard of anyone around here currently busy with an 8....
Would appreciate

Is it a quick build kit or normal kit?

Ek het nog net eers die stert gekoop. Wil my tyd vat op hierdie een om dit n goeie leer skool te maak voordat ek aan beweeg na die groter dele. Maar so tussen deur hou ek my ore oop vir n projek wat dalk iewers mag lê
