Hi Folks,
Yesterday after almost 400 hours flying my RV-8 from front seat I decide to try to fly, takeoff, full stop landing and touch and goes from back seat and I must say, that is completely possible and I like it
I have installed just throttle control from the back so I asked the pilot on front to change RPM, also I have Van's rear seat pedals, which I changed a little the geometry and length to make them better and have full authority, my friend who was in front hit the pedals on landing a couple of time to check if I was able to recover aircraft control and that is possible too!!!
So we are ready to make transition training in RV-8
We made this test in this airfield which is not very big SCAN
Cheers,
Fernando
