I am building a Van's RV-8 aircraft. What is it? It is an all-metal plane that is put together with rivets. Lots of rivets. The plane holds two people in a tandem configuration (pilot in front, passenger in back), is capable of aerobatic flight in the range of +6g/-3g, and cruises upwards of 200 mph. Construction comes with many choices including engine size, nose gear vs tail-dragger, constant speed vs fixed-pitch prop, etc...
