Dear RV8 builders,
This is one of my first few posts on VAF forums. I want to thank everyone in advance for any support. You are an incredible community!
I am planning to build a QB RV-8 at my 4th floor terraced apartment near Zurich, Switzerland.
The goal is to build a light RV-8, with VFR glass panel, IO360M1B with a composite CS prop. Thinking about Ken Kruger’s landing gear mods.
I’ll be conditioning a terrace to serve as a small workshop. Will be very much space limited, but I intend to sequence the building process the best I can to manage it. Total shop area will be 8.2ft by 19.5ft
As I’ll have to crane the fuselage and wings up, I would really appreciate if you could indicate what’s the approximate individual weight of each wing and the fuselage when they arrive in QB form. Also, it possible, would appreciate as well to know the approximate weight of the finished fuselage, without canopy, engine, tail surfaces and landing gear. Approximate figures will help.
Any other suggestions or opinions would be appreciated!
Thanks a lot for any feedbacks!
Happy flying!
Juan
