Off the subject, but so what. Here are a couple of short videos of Close Air Support in Iraq.
The Overall Plan - I custom built this RV-8A as a fun sport plane with IFR capability. The instrument panel is all glass (Blue Mountain EFIS) and with a two axis autopilot capable of flying a coupled ILS if needed.. The engine is an IO-390 with EMagAir P Mag ignition and turning a MT 3 blade propeller. It has a two battery, one alternator electrical system. I used HID lights for the landing lights and LEDs for the recognition lights. The strobes are Whelen comet flash strobes with LED positions lights. This plane will be handed down to my children for their flying pleasure so I took no shortcuts.
Timeline - First Flight 28 Jun 09.
