Building an RV allows us to apply all the lessons we've learned over previous years. Whether any of that previous experience actually applies to an RV is another thing altogether. I'm considering whether I want one or two COMM radios in my -8. The limited acreage of an -8 panel is playing a part, pushing me towards either only one COMM, or two tiny ones.
In my 8 1/2 years of AF flying, nothing I flew had more than one COMM radio, and I never had a radio issue.
In my 32+ years of airline flying, nothing had less than two COMM radios, and I can recall maybe 2-3 times when we used #2.
There is no absolutely right answer here, but I'd be interested in your thought process in whatever choice you made. In particular, if you've had a radio failure and suffered (with only one radio) or triumphed (because you had two) radios.
