I was kind of surprised at the low-ness of the credit. Especially considering the comparative cost of the Grove replacements. That being said, the Grove Gear are *really* nice. Just don't get the plane sideways or you'll be building a whole new fuselage.

Ease of installation, not having to mess around with yet more fiberglass, and the totally sweet plumbing for the brake lines make the Grove gear a no-brainer, IMHO.

With the 8A gone the Navy Pilot son is a little pissed as he had his eye on it. He is somewhere in WestPac on the Nimitz now and at least 7 years or so away from being in a place to own his own plane so I'm looking to build him an RV-8. This will be the third build so I may need him to talk the wife into this deal.
