I turned in my last report at Test Pilot School on Tuesday and shortly will be moving on to my next goal in life (build an aircraft). So... today I printed out the order form for the RV-8/8A and looked over it. I have a few questions and maybe some of you expert guys can help a newbie out.
1) I was going to order the preview plan set from Vans then I saw this Builder's Books. Which one would be the most informative out of these 2 products. Do I need both?
2) I know this is builder prefference however, what are the pros and cons on installing an electric elevator trim to the empennage kit? Will there be limitations later on if I decide to install an autopilot (I don't really know how the trim system inter-acts with control cables)?
3) I did not see an 8 or 8A option for the wings. Does the wing fit on both models?
4) would building the wing be the next logical step after the tail kit?
Tank you for any help or guidance with this matter.
