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.

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.

That seems to be a very popular setup
I hope I can find one with all of that for the right amount of mula.

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