Hey Everyone,
I had thought for many months that the RV7 was the airplane for me... but then I flew in the RV8 this weekend. Wow - what a view (like the tandem seating) and performance was pure RV.
So... now it's got me thinking - what would the differences be in choosing the RV8 over the -7? I have read that the fuselage requires some jigging during the build and the -7 I believe is all matched-hole.
Being a first-time builder, what are your thoughts? Just want to know if there are any surprises I am not considering.
Thanks!
Casey
