When Derrick Petersen introduced me to Jim Oosterhuis, I heard he built model planes. But little did I know, he built his own Experimental RV8 Tail Dragger from Van's Aircraft kits.
He offered me a ride, which I could not resist. Here is the results of both flights. Thanks for watching and subscribing to Mr. Herbert's Science Class.
Here is a Link to look at planes from Nitroplanes.com http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-3235026-10507606

  • 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!

  • 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.

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

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

    

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • yeah nice one!

  • Model=RV7

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