Good choice, Steve. If I were doing another RV it would be the 8.
There's nothing like sitting on the center line of an airplane.

Make it a 8
Skyking,
Make it an 8.
Welcome to building.
What are you flying now?
Come and visit my Shop www.RVCentral.US I am on Hicks airfield T67, in Fort Worth,TX. I can show you how to speed up your build. Help you get set up for a smooth build. You can visit Avery Tools as well. They are on this airfield too.
We have two RV8s going together. Two RV7As, 2 more 8s flying including the 'Borrowed Horse'.
Come on down!!!

8 or 8A?
Jay, I hope to make it down your way sometime early next year. Another RV owner located here built his 8 at your place--he had nothing but good words about his experience. Currently I'm flying a Citation II. Haven't flown a piston airplane in over 10 years and have zero taildragger time--this is going to be quite an adventure!

Congrats! It's tons of fun so far. Be sure to make it an 8! Once you fly a taildragger, you will never go back to your Citation.

Go Steve
Sky,
You will be so glad you picked the 8; after 540 hrs, I still smile every time I walk in the hangar. The "RV grin" is fully developed by the time she gets pushed back in. Every flight I continue to be amazed how much I enjoy this exceptional aircraft. I really believe I could not have picked a better plane for the kind of flying I do. Best of luck with your project...the building is fun and the flying is even better!
