My son is home from college. He wanted to go flying, so I called up a friend. .7 later with a little mild acro, He came back from the flight extremely motivated!

Yep. I’m also building an RV-8 in my garage. But since it is nowhere close to flying, I called up a friend to take my sone for a ride. He liked it a lot more than a high wing Cessna, and the aileron rolls & barrel rolls were the first aerobatics he has flown. No he wants me to get at it and finish my plane!

I helped some in the construction of an RV-9 and have flown it a good bit. I’ve also flown a couple F1 Rockets, which are derived from the RV-8. Great planes.
I really like the fastback conversion for the RV-8:
