Does anyone have an RV-8 (non-Tall Pilot option) in the Metroplex (the farther east the better) that I could sit in ? I live about 75 miles northeast of Dallas and would like to drive in and take a few minutes of your time to see how I fit in your cockpit.
Last Sat. I went to the Paris, Tx Fly-in and there was an RV-8 there which I got to sit in. It had the tall cockpit option, which I found made the back seat too small and would like to sit in a normal seat to see how my 6'3 frame fits. I fit fine in the Tall Option, but the owner said that the seat was canted further aft, which I also really didn't like.
I'm pretty close to making the decision to build an RV-8 but need to sit in one before deciding.
Thanks.
