Alan,
I would be happy to give you a ride in my-10 if you want to check out that model. Based at KAPA. Don't bring your wife, unless you are prepared to go down that road. She will love all the easily accessible space.:) PM me if you are interested. Jim Berry RV-10 |

My wife loves the 10, and while it no longer fits our usual flying mission, she is very resistant to letting it go for a two place. |

Alright, this thing made three pages so I'll toss in my experiences with the -8 (1575 hrs, 13+ yrs).
I made a (removable) platform/enclosure that closes in the control mechanism opening and makes a seat-height platform for sitting cross-legged, or setting the backpack. It has the vent in it but is strong enough to stack things on it. No worries about jamming things in around the mechanism. When she gets in for a trip, I follow up by handing her the backpack, food bag, purse and the O2 bottle. We have brought the dog a couple of times, and that limits things and duration somewhat. Never had one complaint (from her or the dog) about space, only occasional "bumps" I don't warn about. Doesn't hurt that I have a 66% scale wife, either. ;) Bottom line - side-by-side has less personal space, but better baggage accommodations. Got the cash, get a -10. And I'll see you flying straight and level - looking out the top of my canopy. |
