Well the mission has changed. Showed my wife the picture of the RV-7 and she said, "that looks nice but why don't you build the plane your instructor had. (RV-4). After explaining that the seats ould be tandem, she said thats fine, awesome! Now the question is 4 or 8. My mission is VFR, short cross countries, and economical flying. I'm fairly short 5'8" and only 160. I love the looks of the 4 over the 8. I would also avoid the tip up or slider because I would have a tip over. I was wondering if there has been anyone who moved up from a 4 to an 8 and could shed light on the differences. It is also my understanding that a smaller engine can be used in the 4 and keep up with an 8. Any and all comments are welcome.
