It's an RV-8A, beautifully built back in 2002 by an aerospace engineer. Sold in 2017 to a mechanical engineer, and now in the hands of another mechanical engineer. Kind of ironic! I love the faux weapons panel...since I'm a gun designer and own a firearm manufacturing company it's kind of amazing that this plane "found me". I'm not new to RVs, having been non-equity partner on an RV-6A for around 4 years on my buddy's plane. This one is a bit faster and I find I can easily cruise at 165-170 KTAS. The panel is good but there are a couple of changes I'd like to make. Overall very happy with this purchase! BTW, I "sanitized" the tail number until the registration transfers over to me.
