I'm New Here
I'm about to pick up an RV-8 fast-build kit and have an option to buy an IO-360 A1A with it for $10K. It's been pickled (supposedly correctly) for about 8 years so it should be in good shape. I know there's plenty of conflicting opinions on carb vrs FI but I have to pose the questions:
1. IO-360 A1A; good choice for an RV-8? Any CG issues with the additional weight?
2. Advice on what to look for before purchase?
3. Seeings as it been put up for awhile; I'm sure I should at least pull a couple cylinders for inspection; or do a more thorough tear-down-inspection prior to hanging it?
4. and why not...go ahead with the FI vrs carb arguments
