Engine size
Newby to this
I currently own an RV8A with an 0-320 I started doing basic aerobatics and love it. I?m selling my RV8A to buy another RV8 TW with more horses and inverted system. Van recommend engine size up to 0-360 What do you guys think or know about RVs with I0-390?? Would that affect any of the aerobatic maneuvers ?? Thanks in advance for the help. |

Another IO-390
Dan, aka "flynwest" has one as well.
Look for his posts. |
Most 8's seems to have a 360/180 ponies, injected is an advantage as well as C/S, it's all about the green back as you Yanks say!:)

Recommend you talk to Mitch Lock at Van?s. He shares my thoughts on the parallel valve IO-360 (180hp) and Hartzell CS prop as a sweet spot for this airplane.
But - if your performance target is first plane to 10k? regardless of fuel burn and cost, the IO-390 is a better match. For effiecent cross country and maneuvering the 180hp engine and CS prop is, in my opinion, the right set up. Carl |

Thanks Carl I love doing recreational aerobatics and I think the 180hp with C/S prop is making more sense. |

Yes thats a popular setup with the 180hp and cs prop, I?m going to start searching for that setup, I?m hoping to find one with inverted system in it already. |
io-375
