I have purchased an RV8A. Called amike for transition training and he replied,
“ hope you’re not in a hurry.” Queried what a hurry was and he said November.
He recommended a Chris in BOI and I’m headed there next weekend. He teaches in an RV7A with same wing and engine as the 8.
When I get in the 8 to bring it home, it will be my first time in type. Are there any on line gouge on handling or suggested techniques? I’ve heard that with a single pilot and fwd CG, you should land with no flaps For elevator authority. Just the experience others have gleaned with time in type, which I’ve got nil....
