I'm getting very close to ordering a RV kit (4 days at Oshkosh answered most of my questions) and after reviewing the literature I picked up at the Van's tent I noticed something that caused me to think.
Information pertaining to the RV-8 will eventually mention something like this (Van's recent purchase of CNC machines has created a RV-8 kit that is much easier to assemble then previous kits). That sounds pretty good to me. I'm all for easier kits, it keeps me from making mistakes.
When I read the info for the RV-7 and 9, there will be a statement similar to this (Van's computer matched holes makes assembly easier then ever).
Is there a difference in how the RV-8 is manufactured/assembled when compared to the RV-7 and 9? I have yet to see the phrase *computer matched holes* associated with the RV-8 in official Van's literature. I may be looking at old stuff or I could be simply missing it.
Anyone know if there's a difference?
