I'm on the look out for my next plane. Little back story, I was mainly interested in an RV9. McCool from central MN was very nice and invited me down to look at his and go for a short flight. I was fairly set on a -9 until I realized that I really prefer tandem seating. I currently fly a 172, Murphy Rebel and a RANS S7, so I get to experience both types of seating.
When my son returned from deployment overseas, he acquired my 172A, which we fly from MN to Oregon. I have owned that plane for 34 years!! It's staying in the family.
While we were in Oregon, a friend of his had an RV-8 and I sat in it along with my spousal unit. She said she would be fine sitting in the rear so now my 'shopping for a new ride' has grown to include an RV-8.
Are there any owners in my vicinity that would be open to letting me look over there -8? There is only one near me that I know of and have looked at it, unfortunately he is a busy business owner so hard to be able to spent much time with him.
If anyone knows of one for sale nearby, please let me know. I would still be interested in a nice -9 if the price is right. I prefer a TW.
Thanks,
Keith
