RV-8A build - Fuselage time-lapse stage 1
Time-lapse of building the fuselage for my RV-8A up to what is sometimes called the "quick-build" stage. At the completion of this video, the fuselage is more or less in the state a kit ordered as quick-build would be in when it arrives. This covers about 330 hours of build time at 7200x (1 second = 2 hours) completed between mid-August 2022 and the very end of January 2023.
At this point the airframe is structurally complete, with the exception of the turtledeck, canopy, and engine cowling. I can now work on items such as control rigging, empennage attachment, canopy fitting/attachment, wing installation, control surface alignment, engine mounting, routing of fuel and brake systems, some ...

Просмотров 1,2 тыс.2 года назад
Time-lapse of building the wings for my RV-8! This covers about 470 hours of build time at 7200x (1 second = 2 hours) This video includes all of the wing structures, including the wing skeleton itself, the main skins, the fuel tanks, the ailerons, and the flaps. Yes, I'm still tracking rivet count... there were 6388 in the wings, so I'm at a total of 8552 so far. There are still a few things to...
RV-8A build - Elevators
Просмотров 2073 года назад
Build time-lapse of the elevators. Covers ~82 hours of build time at 3600x. Construction is basically the same as the rudder. The left elevator also includes the elevator trim tab, which is controlled by a small servo. I finished by test fitting them to the horizontal stabilizer and trimming the HS as needed. After adjusting the bearings a bit alignment is looking very good. I'll wait to fit th...
RV-8A build - Vertical Stabilizer and Rudder time-lapse
Просмотров 2503 года назад
Build time-lapse of the vertical stabilizer and rudder. Covers ~79 hours of build time between the two parts. The vertical stabilizer was a much quicker build than the horizontal but similar in construction. It's fewer than half the parts and I've got a little more experience now of course. A minor modification was done that allows compatibility with the fastback kit I plan on using later in th...

Time-lapse of the first sub-part of the RV-8 empennage kit, the horizontal stabilizer. This covers about ~120 hours of build time at 3600x. Build log: eaabuilderslog.org/?blproject&proj=7hN3YMWJj&cat=horiz._stab.&listcat=&sid= This sub-part contains 35 discrete parts and 680 rivets. I had to replace 4 parts after drilling incorrectly positioned holes, and had to drill out a good number of rivet...
Where did you find plans for that wing cradle?
There weren't any. I saw a picture of another builder's cradle using carpet on the outboard end. I liked the idea so I made my own.
What Brand of Zinc Chromate primer did you use and why did you pick that brand. thanks.
is this a quick build or standard kit?
Standard
Super cool, dude! I'm impressed at how clean you kept your work bench the whole time... 🙂
Great job! What camera/recording setup are you using?
Thanks! It's a GoPro mounted on the wall.
