Get ready for an adrenaline-pumping experience as we take you to the skies with another extreme air show flight demonstration! 🚀✈️🔥🔥🔥😲
Who'd expect such a big show from two little airplanes!?! We sure didn't! Watch for yourself as pilots Stephen Christopher and Todd Rudberg wear out the aerobatic box at the 2023 JBLM Air Show & Warrior Expo in Tacoma, Washington!
ABOUT THE PILOTS:
[https://undauntedairshows.com/about ]
Stephen Christopher, call sign “Christo”. Christo pilots the red and white side by side RV7 that he built ten years ago, Stephen has collected more than 2,500 hours flying across the country, with the Blackjack Squadron, in air shows with the West Coast Ravens, Lightning Formation, and at the Reno Air Races. Stephen has trained many formation pilots all along the west coast. He’s a patient and thorough and fair instructor.
Todd Rudberg (Christo calls him “Woody”), pilots the Orange RV8. Todd began flying with his dad as an infant in the late 1960s and grew up watching airshows with his family in the 1970s. Todd has logged more than 2500 hours in the RV8 alone. Todd learned formation flying techniques in the Blackjack squadron starting in 2006.
ABOUT THE AIRCRAFT -- VANS RV-7 & RV-8
Undaunted Airshows uses the most popular kit plane, the Van’s Aircraft series of sport planes. How popular? Van’s Aircraft was founded in 1970, meanwhile a little ways north, the first Boeing 737 was delivered in 1968. The 737 was, until recently, the most successful single aisle aircraft hitting a build rate of 60/month in 2019. As of this writing, there have been 11,154 Boeing 737s delivered compared to the Vans aircraft tachometer showing 11,158 First Flights.
These aircraft have superior speed, simplicity and agility to their competitors. I like to say that the RV8 flies like when you were a kid you’d imagined flying would be like.
Todd’s RV8 is powered by a LyCon race tuned IO390. This RV set the speed record for all RVs, including 6-cylinder Rockets, during qualifying at the 2019 Reno Air Race Championship. Todd built this aircraft in 2018/2019 after his original RV was destroyed by a pair of elk.
Special attention was paid to the aerodynamic aspects of the cooling system, canopy system, weight, and the wing rivets are filled in. Other than that, just careful rigging and attention to detail make this airplane a fast cruiser even when not sucking down 80lbs of nitrous in a 10 minute race. This RV is spectacularly fast on nitrous able to achieve 300mph in level flight at 5500′ DA, but will hold 227mph (just under the published VNE of 230mph) true between 4,000′-9000′ naturally-aspirated with a fuel economy of nearly 30mpg!
Christo’s RV7 seems to be the fan favorite as fan surveys show a Red vs Orange advantage of about a 60-40 rate. Stephen built this beautiful RV7 in 2010. It has Lycoming Thunderbolt IO390 and Whirlwind composite prop. This airplane can do it all with a cruise speed of 215mph, Stephen has flown this all over the continental US, trained many formation pilots all up and down the West Coast and now uses this as the lead ship in our 2-ship aerobatic formation airshow.
