I'm looking at potentially buying an RV-8 with the Subaru engine (N62KM) and looking for some expert advice. Of course I'll get a full pre-buy as part of the process, but I'm wondering about the general case of owning and flying this engine.
Thanks in advance,
Matt King

If you have extensive mechanical background, are a real gearhead, preferably have owned and maintained several aircraft, know a ton about the pros and cons of Subie conversions, enjoy searching for insurance policies, enjoy being a permanent test pilot, or can buy it for a price that makes it practical to install a Lycoming, then you might consider this RV-8. Otherwise, keep looking.
