Fellow RV8 friends,
I have over 3,000 hours in various airplanes, single, multi, turboprop but have not flown tail draggers. I started an RV8 build last year and just purchased an RV8 to fly and take the pressure off from build. A friend who owns an RV8 has advised me tail dragger is dangerous as compared to tricycle gear aircraft and recommends training hours.
I have flown in my friends RV8 in back seat, and have not done any landings -- since he wasn't comfortable. Scheduled to pick up the RV8 at end of May and am debating what to do. Appreciate your insights, opinions, recommendations, etc...
Safe Travels,
MF
