Hi Jeff,
We decided to go with an 8 for the soft-field landing capabilities. We believe
(I know some might not) that the front landing gear on the 8A might not be able
to take the repeated stress of landing on soft-fields. The other thing that
we took into account was the damage that could result from a collapse of the
front gear vs. the damage from a ground loop. We have seen the damage that comes
from a plane flipping when it's front gear fails, and we don't even want
to THINK about going there =)
We plan on taking our plane into MANY soft fields over its lifetime, so our reasoning
probably isn't valid for everyone. =)
Stephanie

Without getting into the "what is better" argument, what were your reasons for
swapping to the -8, and did you consider or check out such things as crosswind
limits, pilot experience, insurance permiums, etc? What did you find out? I ask
because I will have that same decision in six months or so...
Cheers,

Hey,
After a LONG hiatus I am back.....for a little while anyway. We are moving to
Wichita this month, if we can find a place to live =) (Does anyone know of a
nice place to rent while we look for a place to buy??)
Baron has been transferred to McConnell and so off we go into the wild blue yonder....oops
sorry it seems that I have had a little too much Dr. Pepper today
if I am breaking into song.
I moved our freebee site to a paid server so that it gets backed up nightly, I would really hate for something to happen to it. www.rv-8a.4t.com <http://www.rv-8a.4t.com/> has changed to www.rv-8.org <http://www.rv-8.org/> nothing has really changed lately except for the major fact that we are going with an RV-8 instead of an RV-8a.

Hi Stephanie,
Thanks for that. I still haven't made up my mind. We'd like to go RV-8
but there are so many factors to consider. I need to do some more
research to find out the best fit.
Cheers,
