I have a friend in Kingman,AZ who needs some help with
landing his RV-8. Is there anyone near Kingman who could help?
The person would need access to a dual control RV-8 as
the time is not flown off of his airplane yet.

You do not need another RV-8. A Citabria will do with a competent
instructor.

I don't believe that a Citabria flies anything like a RV-8.

In the pattern, you should be flying close to the same speeds.
If you fly the pattern in an RV-8 faster than a Citabria, you are
flying too fast! (And looking to be an accident statistic!)
Fly the right airspeed and pitch attitude and the airplane will settle
gently onto the runway. If you float, you are flying too fast.
