At Flex Innovations, flight isn’t just a hobby—it’s about pushing boundaries, unlocking new experiences, and delivering fun for every kind of pilot. That’s why we reimagined the RV-8 10E. The RV-8 10E G2 combines legendary design by Quique Somenzini, an all-new Dualsky 6S power system, and the latest beginner-friendly flight control features powered by Aura 8.

Inspired by the full-scale Van’s Aircraft RV-8, this second-generation aircraft blends scale realism with unmatched versatility. From slow, flaps-down cruising to full-throttle aerobatics and smooth, precise 3D maneuvers, the RV-8 10E G2 handles it all with style. Its wide flight envelope, forgiving nature, and refined control make it the perfect choice for both progressing pilots and seasoned fliers.

Forget what you know about 10-size aircraft. The RV-8 10E G2 tosses out the limitations of the “status-quo” 3S power systems in favor of Flex’s 6S Raw Power System. With a compact and affordable 6S LiPo, you’ll experience explosive vertical performance, longer flight times, and the kind of raw, responsive power that turns every flight into a new adventure.

At the heart of the RV-8 10E G2 is the Aura 8 Advanced Flight Control System (v1.25). With intuitive features like 6-Axis Level Assist and Takeoff Assist, it offers confidence-building support for beginner and intermediate pilots—while maintaining a fun, natural, and responsive feel in the air. And when you’re ready to unlock its full capabilities, a quick-flip procedure switches you into advanced flight modes designed for unlimited performance and pure, connected flight.

Fly big. Fly bold. Whether you’re carving up the sky, practicing slow 3D, or floating in for a graceful landing, the RV-8 10E G2 delivers the power, poise, and freedom to fly your way.

More Than Just a Gyro – A True Flight Controller

The Aura 8 AFCS (Advanced Flight Control System) is more than just a gyro—it’s a full-featured flight controller. This means that all rates, expos, mixes, and other critical settings are handled through the Aura. On our SUPER PNP Models, we take the guesswork out of setup by providing a pre-programmed Aura so you can focus on flying right out of the box. This means all rates, expos, mixes, and gyro settings are expertly tuned by the Flex Innovations Design Team. From smooth and precise handling to aggressive aerobatics, every setting is optimized to deliver the best possible flight experience. We’ve done the hard part of tuning for you!

Quickly Switch between 3-axis and 6-axis profiles with Quick-Flip Procedure!

With the transmitter powered off,
Connect the battery to power up the Airplane. The Blue LED will flash indicating Gyro Calibration. After it stops flashing, orient the model with a straight down nose attitude and keep it still.
The Aura will detect this orientation and switch the profile after a few seconds.
When the profile switches, the servos will power up and center. The elevator will then move 3 times to indicate that flight mode 1 is in 3-Axis Standard Flight mode or 6 times to indicate flight mode 1 is in 6-Axis Level Assist mode.
Once the elevator deflections conclude, return the model to a level attitude and disconnect the battery.
Turn ON your transmitter and connect your battery as normal. Use your flight mode switch to check the Flight Modes act as expected and go fly!
Quick-Flip Proceedure can also be used to switch back from 6-Axis level assist mode on flight mode 1 to 3-Axis Standard Flight mode on flight mode.
