Whelp, just a scoche over 4 years since ordering my -9A emp; ordered up the RV-8 preview plans today and you know where that leads?
From experience on my -9A this is what I'm thinking for second round: Ideally a light bird, no primer, tinted canopy, grove gear wheels n brakes, GPS only, Garmin panel (again), fuel injected, home brew interior w/ classic aero seats, highly modified interior ventilation and heat.
I am undecided on 320/360 and FP/CS and it would be cool to have a bush wheel setup.
I'm currently loving my restored 56 182, I've added a seaplane engine mount and exhaust and an MT propeller and its performance is very RV like, except carries a helluva lot more (and is slower and burns twice as much fuel). I can already tell the world of STCs, 337s, A&Ps, etc. is a costly endeavor.... Back to EXP for me (some day)
