Flying the Real RV8 (Tail Dragger version) plus the Model

[ap0lmc]

Dave will you build a full size version too! Looks like fun.

[Czapla3991]

veeery nice landing, lol wouldn't you teach me how not to BAM plane? :P

[NIGHTEHAWK]

RC is an RV-7. not 8. the 8 is tandem (front & back) seating.

[FantasticBob7000]

Nice vid. I hate to get all picky but that RC model plane wasn't an 8, it was an RV-6 or 7.

I can't wait to join all you flying guys. I recently attached the wings on my 8 and hoping to fly in the spring.

[TheLogitech99]

i got one just like and i made some VERY NICE changes to like, the color is different i put a better and much faster engine in it and the battery lasts about 3times longer then stock and the last thing is the wings had too be changed because of the g-force created by the new engine or else the wings would just break in a high speed turn.

[hogey74]

yeah nice one!

[NIGHTEHAWK]

Model=RV7

[Aerenco]

That model ain't an 8. It's an RV 6

[Amanwarring830]

What happen to the nose cone

[Rocknranchman]

At first I thought this was a "gotcha lookin" type video but it turned out real nice. The model is cool and the full scale plane was very cool! Nice color scheme on that full scale! Great video loved the music. Good Job!

[ThurDude]

Nice! where did they get that model RV8? I am looking for one so I can build it to make it look lke our real one! I have flown in my neighbors RV8 and the thing rolls great!

[NightFlyyer]

Thanks kindly. I think they made it from a Kit off the internet. Maybe it was a link on vans aircraft page, I am not sure. They do roll sweetly, all right.

[cameraman1234567890]

There is no Difference! (Except the size) hahahahaha. Good one dave and great Flying. 5/5

[NightFlyyer]

Thanks kindly.

[BR4DL3YY]

no right look at the top right of your screen

just above the subscribe button it say nightflyyer. how did you make that?

[NightFlyyer]

That is a .gif I made with a .gif making program called animation. To put it up there where mine is, means you have to be a Youtube Partner.

[RacerLamboMurcie18]

what do you mean by youtube partner?

[NightFlyyer]

After you have 1000 subscribers, Youtube will ask you if you want to be a partner. At that point you can say yes and then you have the ability to add advertising to you videos...thus getting paid a little too plus the gifs, etc.

[RCKiwi]

Not exactly cheap though...

[BR4DL3YY]

how did you make that little animation of ( nightflyer) ???

[NightFlyyer]

At the end of the movie, you mean?

[pspboyy55]

the song at da begining is called what? funny farm?

[NightFlyyer]

It's called "They're coming to take me away" by Napoleon XIV (Jerry Samuels). It is classified as the Number 1 novelty song in the world.

[pspboyy55]

i put funny farm in on youtube and it says its by some guy named dr.demento (i think demento) and it was the same thing =P

[lacesthefish]

no dr demento has a radio show and he plays all this kinda stuff he didnt make the song he just plays it alot

[konohasblackjet]

great flight does the large RV8 have ils landing aswell and can you ask Jim Oosterhuis how much did it cost to make the GREAT RV8

excellent flying love the ejecting tail wheel

[NightFlyyer]

Ill ask about the big one, but I think it was about $60,000 for the big one and the model was about $1000.

[edwardhansen]

how long did it take you to build?

[NightFlyyer]

The real one about a year, the model, about a year.

[lowIQ04]

that plane looks cool

[NightFlyyer]

Thanks. It is.

[pspboyy55]

whats with the song lolz?

it didnt sound like it was running at full throttle at take off

nice vid 5 stars and note:your 202nd vid!! LOLZ

[NightFlyyer]

The song...well, I was crazy to fly a plane that the engine was so "Flakey" on. That's why it took off at a rich setting. When you hold it up, it got lean ,but level it got rich. The needle valve has a tip broken off so it cant be set correctly with the pressure differences in the tank.

[NightFlyyer]

Thanks very kindly. I'll look forward to ti.

[sheldonholy]

Great video! your getting to your 400th vid! Those are some very nice instrument's he has got in there, like that MFD. My dad yould kill to get that in his plane! Too bad you can only get those in homebuilts...

[NightFlyyer]

Thanks kindly. Cant you modify your present one and put the new MFD in?

[sheldonholy]

no... If it was possible my dad would have done it... they do not have CAA/FAA certification for anything other than kit built light aircraft... Oh well.

[RCKiwi]

Your dads got a plane??!!!

[sheldonholy]

yes... you seem suprised. it's not that amazing

[startazz]

Dave you are one lucky man,what a great treat to fly the rv8 model then go up in the real deal,that must have been a great feeling mate,nice job and 5 stars as always with your videos.

[NightFlyyer]

I really appreciate your comments. Thank you kindly.

[lowIQ04]

no nose cover?

[NightFlyyer]

There is, but we were working on the needle valve settings a lot, so it was easier without the cowl.

[gurvir44]

Wow neat, how was the feeling when you went in the plane?

5 stars =)

[NightFlyyer]

It was a great feeling to be free. Thanks for the rating.

[cmoney1812]

whoh last time i saw a pass that low some body got their kneecaps broken

[NightFlyyer]

Ha ha.

[Tphai]

that approach was extremely low hah, i guess when you have a field like that its ok because their are no obsticals..at my airpot N23 its like you have to fly over a highway (not interstate) and then over a factory..so you cant have to low of an approach lol good job man glad you got to go flying =)

[NightFlyyer]

Thanks. Yep lots of space to make low approaches. It was fun.

[gentarion]

lol funny song :-D

[NightFlyyer]

Haha.

[helicopterkid1996]

[NightFlyyer]

Sure, hand me a wrench....LOL.

5 stars again.
