My son and I plan to build an RV-8 when he turns 16. I already have the permit for the landing strip. We'll attend the Vans empennage-building class for his 16th birthday.
Good luck with your aviation plans. No kidding...

All of Van's designs are pretty nice, and improving every year. For a fast cross country machine, they're hard to beat, and there's probably more of them flying than any other series out there.
Did you look at the
Falco, by any chance?
As for my building, I'm in the information gathering stage until my garage gets built. Not about the airplanes per se, but the equipment needed to build. I have most if not all of the hand tools and things like bench grinders, and a drill press; but not some the stuff, welders for instance. Of course, I could just stick with gas welding, it's less than $1000.00 for it all. TIG is much nicer, and you can weld stainless with it.
