Hi can you help. i have a rv8 since i have been flying it i have found that the landing legs could be made stronger. as they do tend to bend when landing. is there a carbon firba upgrade for the rv8 thanks gary
I cant wait to buy this beautiful airplane.. I was at home reading the August 2009 issue of Model Airplane News and saw plane. Its everything I was looking for in a airplane.. Thanks again Hanger 9.. Keep up the great work.. Cant wait to see whats next.. Samuel A. Isaac A.M.A.#621021
Ok, who can explain why this can not come in an ARF or a RTF because when you get every thing to build the plane and fly it, it cost as much as getting the tail kit for the real Vans RV-8.
You forgot to mention the Electric option for this bird... I think there will be a lot of these with Brushless/Lipo combos in the air this year. I'm sure thinking about it.
Jonny, you are right, I tend to lean towards engine powered models in this size bracket so I totally spaced it. But yes it can be setup as Electric easily. In the next H9 model I will be sure and make note of the electric option.
Yup, If you were to pick up a ParkZone Trojan or Corsair and fly it till you feel comfortable with basic aerobatics and decent landings you could fly the RV-8. It just isn't designed to take the kind of abuse a beginning flyer will naturally subject it to.

Just take a GI Joe, cut it in half and put it in the cockpit.

It is an ARF, I am missing your point. It also is a bit larger and more complicated sport scale model, they just aren't going to be cheap.

What would you recomend as a plane for stepping up from a .40 size trainer (LT-40)?

Thnx, I think I'll pick up the corsair sometime this summer. (It's always been my favorite plane.)

cool. I am on my 5th plane, and my second t-28 that I have mastered. I will think about either this or the hangar 9 saratoga.
