RE: Plans of DV8R
ORIGINAL: Wayne22 There were problems on some of the earlier kits with the wing incidence. With that fixed, it is a very nice flying airplane. I've actually got one hanging in my garage (if anyone is interested) and it has some real nice lines from certain angles. |

RE: Plans of DV8R
I actually like the hunched look......its agressive looking.

RE: Plans of DV8R
Message I got from TBM today........first batch is expected in August (prototypes). If they like them they will sell them.
Cockpit kit was not currently available and they were not sure it will be done. I want to say that gear were going to come from Sierra (don't qoute me on that one though). Didn't ask if the wing was still going to be a one piece though. |
RE: Plans of DV8R
It appears that they modified the side view of the fuse to look me like an airfoil and I like the lines much better if this is the case.
In the air the DV8R has really distinctive lines. |
RE: Plans of DV8R
actually we won't know what they have done........photos on TBM's website are original PCM photos. TBM has not got the prototypes in yet according to the email I got, so we don't know what changes, if any were made other than the scheme.

RE: Plans of DV8R
Guys hear is the deal.
TBM bought the rights for the DV8R from Pat McCurry. Pat brought us his drawings and we sent his drawings off to have the planes built. The only change is the wing will be a built up 2 piece wing and not Foam. Pat did the drawings for the built up wings. We should have the first two Prototypes in our hands in about 1 month. If They are up to our standards we will place the order for the planes. Now you have it straight from the source. Bill Hatcher Troy Built Models |
RE: Plans of DV8R
I wouldn't touch the wing!!! The wing is the strong point of the whole plane! You are going to be doing the wrong thing by dueing this IMO.

RE: Plans of DV8R
Thanks Bill-
Good information........if you like the prototype design.....please post numerous pics for us. |
RE: Plans of DV8R
Bill, the color scheme illustrations on your website make the fuselage more rounded looking and I like that.
Is this a mere illusion or has a revision been made? Bob ORIGINAL: Bill Hatcher Guys hear is the deal. TBM bought the rights for the DV8R from Pat McCurry.

RE: Plans of DV8R
The DV8R is beeing made from Pat McCurrys drawings. If the fuse looks diffrent its the color scheme. Pat did the drawings for the built up wings so we are not worried about them. As soon as I get some of the construction photos I will post them on our site.

RE: Plans of DV8R
So far is there any review on this DV8R ?I am also intrested in the kit .Anyone out there can cut them and sell them in a kit version?
|
Hi friends, I have a pair of fuselages in construction, but the idea is cover they with foam and make a round shape for make molds, a fiber glass fuselage would be great, really is a very pretty plane, and very different to all.
