From the Top

- I was extremely fortunate to be able to fly Tom Wood's (my closest friend for 42 years) beautiful RV-8 from the front seat. 2.3 hrs, some stalls, slow flight, rolls and 8 landings later I had what every RV -8 builder would die to get before he flew the first flight in his own RV. I'm very grateful to Tom for letting me have that experience. Needless to say I am rapidly closing in on the end game. The few days I was able to spend with him & wife Emily answered many of the questions I had about finishing the project.  I will always be greatly indebted for his courage and trust... Fred

- Some different shots of the switch

- And of course my Grandson ready
for his first ride....
