Barry Crook (Tracy's brother and RWS gear drive builder extraordinaire) is also building a rotary powered RV-8. He originally planned to use a 13B engine, but since his quick build is also a "slow build" he may move to a Renesis by the time he is ready for the powerplant.

Like Tracy, Barry has far more projects than a human being could hope to finish in a lifetime, but the RV-8 is finally rising to the top of the list (precipitated mainly by the RVotter trip to the Bahamas). Barry is an excellent craftsman and an incredibly talented metalworker (so much so, that his house is built of steel and glass. Fantastic!). There is no question his plane will be an award winner when it is done.





8/8/04: Barry brought me the above photos last week to prove that he has actually completed one part of the plane! Keep going Barry - I have a feeling you're going to finish prior to Tracy.

September 2, 2002: Barry and Tracy finally removed the 13B from the "donor mobile" (that project only took 8 months!). The best news is that the spare RX-7 is now in the hangar and out of the yard.

February, 2001: The first of MANY "RV Grins" directly attributed to the RV-8s
