Hi all,
I'm curious to know more about the aerobatic capabilities of the RV-8, particularly with a passenger. I would like to be able to fly mild aero's two up, just loop and roll type stuff. I'll leave the lomcevaks etc. to the Pitts drivers
How does the -8 perform with a pax? I'm 6'4" 200 pounds; my passengers would range from my wife (120 lbs) to a couple of mates my size. I'd like to know about CG issues (if any), spin recovery with a pax (not planning to spin deliberately, but you never know...) pitch forces with a pax and so on. Is the -8 a good mount for dual aerobatics? Or should I build something else?
Thanks in advance, Adrian.
