Russell Buchanan’s New RV-8 | Mount Helena, Western Australia RV-8 #82859

Congrats to Russell on the first flight of his new RV-8! He writes:

First flight made from Jandakot airport in Western Australia after a convoluted 12 year build. The first flight went well with no major issues to report and initial performance looks promising.

Thanks to Van’s for supplying a great product. Also a big thanks to the local help I received from John Browne, Ed Malatesta and Barry Collin among many others.
