They say the RV 9 is better for cross country (if you don’t care about aerobatics), but I think the visibility from the tandem-seating of the 8 would be truly insurmountable. Plus, the 8 is faster and holds more fuel.

@@alangarrett1181 Border restrictions, national park closures, extra hoops to jump through everywhere. I think the border to Canada is still closed to most travel. If you happened to test positive for covid, you have to quarantine 14 days. I dunno... I feel like that would put a damper on a trip like this.

Nice! I met you in Boulder City for the parade flyover and lunch at the golf club. How do you like the -8 vs the -7? I figured for a trip like this, taking the 7 might have been better for those long flights.. accessing lunch and things? Although your aux tank probably fits better in the -8?
@skyrunner1818
3 жыл бұрын
Thomas, didn´t see your reply til now. I love the -7 too, very comfortable and performancewise very similar. I only took snacks enroute and drinks out of small bottles, all was organized so no problems flying the -8. However everything is accessible during flight in the -7 while in the -8 you need to know what things you want access to during flight. Would love to do formation with you again - meanwhile did some formal training and really enjoying it.
