Ha! Ha! The "center part"....if I only I could get my USAF students to get there! For some strange reason the crosswinds here at VAFB make that a little tough....
Fly safe, my friend, fly safe! :-)

Hey @tubenn...look at this guy's credentials. Your worries are unfounded.
Awesome flying, beautiful airplane, really well produced video. The shot where you taxi, leaving the camera on the lawnmower is brilliant!

Very nice video. I turn to YouTube for inspiration as I look forward to my RV-8 first flight around springtime 2011.
Thanks for sharing!

Wonderful video. I want to fly desperately but flight school is so expensive. I one day would like to have a pilot certificate and a loehle p5151 for me to fly around
Good Lord! That has GOT to be the narrowest runway I've ever seen. What is that? 30 feet?
Sorry, but my 18 yrs of Air Force flying has spoiled me with 5,000'+ x 150' runways!
Loved the video! You're right....even the worst day of flying beats mowing the lawn, anyday!
Cheers!

@Twister051 Right! Thirty feet. I only use the center part.

Wonderful Vid, Mr. Schreck! You should put this in van's advertisements! I'm starting my 8 QB, and look foward to some great stick time. BTW, hows the 200rv noise?

The 200RV is noticeably smoother and quieter than any metal CS prop I have flown behind. You can get quieter with a 3-blade prop but will probably find your cruise speed will suffer by a few knots. You will love your RV-8!

The low-over-the-water part looks scary. What are you thinking in regards to an engine out and emergency landing? From the video it looks like you'd be stuck ditching in the water or flying into trees on the beach, either situation your plane is totaled and you're probably dead. Also I doubt you had 500 foot separation from the boat or the bridge.
The leather gloves are priceless though. Maybe your paint job's fumes got to you and you really think your a ww2 fighter pilot? (hehe just kidding)
