Paul, Yes, I am sure that you are right and that many pilots find the RV8
handling absolutely fantastic in all regimes.
That is why I say it very much depends on your individual perspective and
previous experience, and what you are looking for in an aircraft.

My feedback is only relevant as one datapoint on the RV satisfaction graph,
and after two years of build time, even I am biased towards skewing the
satisfaction level favourably.
Rgds, Nic

I hate to mention this for fear of multiple reprisals but what are the landing
characteristics for the 8A?

Have flown a wide variety of conventional gear and tri-gear.  My 8A is the
easiest landing plane of all.
