Greetings All,
This site is very inspiring, thank you all who contribute. I've spent countless hours researching and learning about RV's. I am ready to commit but need help deciding.
Question 1: Is the RV8 and/or RV7 an aircraft you would recommend for a new pilot?
Question 2: is there anyone out there with a flying RV8 and/or RV7 around the Sacramento, California area who is willing to give me a ride (I will pay for fuel)?
Background: Male, 49 years old, married, three adult children, employed with about 4-5 years until retirement; private pilot certificate is a work in progress. I have taken an RV builders class. Signed up with EAA. I know I could do this. I like the RV8 the most but also like the RV7.
My wife and I went to Osh Kosh for the first time this year to see Air Venture, amazing. We visited the Vans booth and sat in the RV7. We wanted to sit in a RV8 but they didn?t have one.
Thank you,
Charlie Rogers
