Hello friends,
I am new to this forum. This is an incredible source of information advice and encouragement.
I had a dream of building and RV8 for decades. But I swept that idea under the carpet with life and responsibilities.
This past July I attended EAA AirVenture for the first time and now my dream has been reignited.
Unfortunately, right now I don’t have the space or the time available to take on the RV8 building project. (I know more excuses) In 6 years, after retirement, I will be able to do it, and I will do it.
Even thou I can't build right now, there is nothing the precludes me from buying a flying RV8. I think that would be a great way to get experience with the aircraft.
I would appreciate guidance in:
I wound appreciate any advice and experience anyone want to share.
Thank you
Aaron

I would appreciate guidance in:
- How to go about finding a good used aircraft
- What to look for
- What to avoid
- How to know what fair prices and values are
- How the buying process works
- Pre buy Inspections
- Where to get transition flight training
I wound appreciate any advice and experience anyone want to share.
Thank you
