I realize this is the -14 section of the forum, but I also see quite a few posters who previously built RV-8s, sold them, and are now building/flying -14s. I had originally leaned towards the -8, but now looking hard at the bigger aircraft.
I am retired, most interested in comfort, will be flying solo most of the time, and while I may do acro occasionally, I'm more interested in straight and level at this point in life (spent a ton of time inverted or going straight up in fighters and instructing). However, I also see that the -8QB costs the same as -14A slow build. Engine prices (200 hp vs 210 hp) are close to the same also.
So, did those of you who switched to the -14 do so because of the size, ease of build, or what?
Thanks, John
