Has anyone got any experience of this? http://www.showplanes.com/index_1024.htm
I know it sounds like a weak excuse for the extra expense, but here it is: the only other RV-8 I've seen in here in New Zealand has the ELT antenna stuck at an angle sideways on the right-hand top emp intersection fairing since the canopy slides back so far it can't go on top of the fuse. Looks really odd. I think there was a 'legal' reason why it had to be where it was (since it couldn't go on top).
Having a sideways hinged canopy would allow the antenna to go on top where it is supposed to go. Plus I kind a like the new look. I'm a good long way from ordering a fuse kit (heck, the wings haven't even arrived yet), but decisions I make now help me plan and budget...
Cheers
