HiTechs' new "Ride" (RV8)
« Reply #15 on: September 25, 2002, 10:26:36 AM »
RV-8 a great ride, guy in town is building an RV-9.

I'm really torn....tandem or side by side seating...all the Van's planes have a great reputation are are great fun to fly.  A guy who used to hangar a Cessna 150 near my BD-5 was trying to talk me into going halves on a RV-8A (trike)....its very tempting.  I just love that yellow paint job on the factory one.

HiTech...what?  No blantant sales logos and trademarks??

Be a great business write off  :D

Congrats HT, can't think of anyone that I know who's worked harder for it.

I did think however that nate & super could spend a bit of time doing a nice AH logo for it. :)

Enjoy!

Uh gee, aint that a picture of an RV-4?


An RV-4 is easy to identify by the triangular roll bar between front and rear seats.   The RV-8 has no such roll bar.

WTG HT, the RV are great aircraft.  I have been toying with the idea of building an RV-8 myself.  A good friend is building a 7, and I know several guys with RVs at the airport I fly at.

All I know, is that Hitech and Pyro are not allowed to fly in the same plane at the same time :)

Sweet ride HT! I'm Jealous! If anyone in the Dallas area see's an RV-8 making practice strafing runs on them during their commute, you now know who it is. ;)
