Unparalleled Flight Performance
The Flex Innovations RV-8 is a massive, yet lightweight airframe that
offers an incredibly wide flight envelope. From beginners to experts,
the RV-8 has something to offer everyone. Beautiful scale lines, clear
canopy with pilot figure and a beautiful color scheme deliver a
true-to-scale presence in the air and on the ground.
With over hundreds of designs, World F3A and Free Style Champion
Quique Somenzini has maximiized the simplicity and practicality of the
RV-8 design and matched it with the incredible Aura 8 Flight Control
System (AFCS) for the ultimate stability with out interfering with the
pilot's control. It takes less than one-hour to assemble out of the box
and remains quick to assemble at the field, yet transportable in size.
