What ever happened to the RV-8 that some folks were working on? If I remember correctly it wasn't that far off from completion.

There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

I'm sorry, but I'm pretty new to the FSX side of things, but did you ever finish your T-18?You are probably thinking of the one that Dan Dunn is doing. Unfortunately I have seen/heard nothing regarding progress on it for some time. I do hope it gets done as I am a huge fan of home-built aircraft. His RV really looks good (and that's coming from a Thorp guy)![]()
I haven't talked to Dan for months now. I think he's put the project on hold indefinitely.
It is certainly a shame. He had done some really cool stuff with it...
So is Dan the Baytower one?
Well... if you ever need another "beta" pilot.Tom, that project is still in the hangar. Because of the tie I have to the real one I want it to be the best I can possibly do, and as I learn things on other projects I go back and incorporate what I have learned into the Thorp. Needless to say I have re-done things many times!
I have been thinking of releasing a 'beta' version that would be minus the pilot and some other things. What I have right now is useable according to some people that have tried it out.
