Anyone out there have experience selling RV-8(a)'s that has seen an appreciable difference in the re-"saleability" of tailwheel vs. nosewheel aircraft? Also,...
Hi Bob, You might try Falcon through the EAA. They did a good job for me, however I would recommend that you get some frest tail dragger time since the RV-8...
Bob, As Mike said, get some tail dragger time - preferrably in a short wing Piper (PA 20 or such)as they are quite quick on the ground. I had a BC12D...
"an insurance company that would provide insurance to low/no tailwheel time pilots." I will face the same problem when I finish my RV8 taildragger. Although I...

Bob, I'm no expert or all that experienced, or an engineer. But if it's of help, I'll share my own thought process and plan: I decided to go tailwheel (QB -8...

I have some recent experience with this. I finished my RV-8 last January and at the time had 63 total hours and no tailwheel time. Only one insurance company...
Bob, Paul makes very good points regarding the tailwheel choice. I chose the nosedragger. I have about 15k total hours but only about 400 in tailwheel...
Martin, This is a scam. Ask the guy if you can come see the unit in person, and he'll say he's in Australia, or Europe. Tell him you can fly over to see the...

Dan, Does your fuel gage have two leads? If so try swapping the leads. If it has one lead then use an ohm meter to check the gage for an internal ground. If it...
Use a good multi-meter to check both sides of the switch to ground. If you have continuity from the terminal of the switch that goes to the guage to ground,...
