We have about 30-40 of them here at Spruce Creek -- most of them flying, and a lot of quick-build kits. I have observed Van's designs progress, both in quality and performance for about 25 years and can say that every one is an improvement over the last. The RV-8 kit is superb and is available in quick-build form. The workmanship is excellent; the design is excellent. My neighbor is building an RV-8A and is having a ball! I don't think that you can go wrong with it, but, remember: even the QB kit entails a LOT of work, so you need some friends to help you along, as well as a good EAA Chapter. -- Remove _'s from email address to talk to me.

I'm flying a -4 & building a -7; I can confirm what he says about kit quality & 'buildability'. Good on all but the shortest runways and excellent cruise speed; light acro capability too. Charlie
