Cool airplane. I got a demo flight in the RV-8 about a year ago. They are absolutely fantastic machines. Vans has come along way from his old garage/shop.
Sadly, the fiance wants a 4 place family truckster first.
It was between the RV-9 or a Velocity.
I'm a low time pilot (just started) and have worked with metal and not much composite. The RV is much less complex.
I'll build time in the RV and eventually move up to the Velocity.
The Velocity is a nice 4 place family truckster. :-)
