    Llano is always a good destination

    Coopers seemed pretty good a few years ago. Of course we just flew 1100nm to try it. Crawfish festival was good too.

    Go IFR, VFR, or Drive?

    I'm VFR only but also struggle with crossing the passes going from 8u8(townsend) to 97MT(cabincreek) or S27(Kalispell city). SO here is a little helper to "view the routes". Webcams...Some are fixed direction cams others can pan tilt zoom. http://www.bigskyfishing.com/Web-Cams/Web-Cams.htm

    So guys, the big question.

    yes it's worth it....what ever the cost. rough day at work, head out to the hangar on the way home and take a zip around the frozen lake in the setting light. back in the hangar 0.3hrs later, refreshed. Yep worth it.

    Love At First Sight

    Incorrect...Technically you can do all the mods and repairs on your EAB. Realistically, without the proper training or skill set you maybe shouldn't...but you could.

    Love At First Sight

    Congrats on the new bird. You two will have a good time with it. The RV series is fun to fly, fast but also economical. I like the Red, too. I bet you pick up more than 2 kts with the upper gear fairings installed. Your -8A should cruise 175kts TAS on 8gph or so at altitude.

    Planning my first cross country... as a Private Pilot

    KDUX is a nice fuel stop. Cheap fuel, courtesy car and you never know what else might land. April 2012 I stopped there....glad I fueled up, I think this guy was draining the tank when I got by from lunch.

    Is it just me...

    There's an 8 for sale up here, but you're looking for a "8A" correct? Also I think the asking price may be high.

    Is it just me...

    That's what I would do. Some RV owner, might know someone who knows somebody that might sell. And an ad on VAF will find them.

    Diesel motors for planes?

    That's what I thought. I couldn't figure out why you would be promoting a Deltahawk when your have your own engine/firewall business to promote. It's almost worst than copyright enfringement, it's more fraud since you are in a competing business.

    All things RV-8A

    What a great thing these RV's are. On the way home, I had to pinch Kris to ensure it was real. We built a dream machine in our shop. 2 days off and the closest grandkids were 14hr RT drive away, but only 4.5 RT with Aurora carrying us. Dreams of Joy! The return weather was ideal, so we...
