In October of 2011, I purchased a Vans RV-8 "QuickBuild" experimental aircraft kit. This blog serves as my builders log and captures the major portions of the build process.

Spring is here ;-) Tail wheel mount, Control, CHT & EGT Wiring Connections
Finally the WX broke so Mike and I were able to work on
the plane again. We've both agreed
that the plane will be done by Oshkosh (just not sure which one but we aren't
telling anyone that part when they ask which one).
Davin and I worked on finishing up installation of the beautifully chromed tail wheel mount assembly. Installed the tail wheel spring mount. Reluctantly had to add six CS 4-4 pop rivets to the bottom of the rear bulkhead due to space constraints.
Mike mounted the control cables. We also finished up the CHT and EGT wiring connections.

Ran the three control cables from the quadrant to the engine. Will need to order a longer one for the throttle
