Dear Listers,
I would like to get some dual time in in an RV-8 over the next few months. Is there anyone on the List kind of near the Livermore California airport with an RV-8 (taildragger) that has dual controls including rudder peddles and preferably a CS prop? With my RV-8 test flight quickly approaching, I would like to get 5-10 hours in an RV-8 before I go to get insurance and go for that first flight. I'm current, have over 100 hours in tailwheels, and carry aircraft renters insurance.
I would reimburse for gas and lunches!

You have a very hard time finding an RV-8 with rear seat brake pedals,
I can't imagine anyone who would sit in back while you flew from the
front without brakes back there. If you tried to fly from the back,
you'd find the view ahead fairly poor, plus likely have a poor view of
the ASI. And no brake pedals.
I think an RV-6 or RV-7 is a much better aircraft for this training.
Both seats have brakes (if the builder did the right seat brake
option), and the view ahead and of the instrument panel is good from
the right seat. The -6 and -7 handle quite similarly to an RV-8, so
the training is very relevant. The longitudinal stick forces on the
-6 or -7 will be somewhere between those of the RV-8 solo and the RV-8
with a pax. As a prospective -8 pilot, you would probably want to be
in the right seat of the -6 or -7, to put the stick in the right hand,
and the throttle in the left.
Fly safe,

Matt-
You are always welcome to fly with me in the side-by-side nose dragger if you strike out on the 8 tw. I have full controls both sides.

Exactly what I did in an RV-6. The insurance company (Nation Air) was happy
with time in any RV.

If you are ever near Seattle (and it's not raining) I'm always happy to fly with someone in the right seat of my RV-7 taildragger. Especially someone that wants to buy fuel and meals!!
I have a very nice 6 year old airplane with full dual controls, dual EFIS and dual brakes. Hangared at KPWT. I'm not an instructor, though.

Fly either the 6 or the 7 from the right seat. That way, the stick
and throttle will be the correct hands!!
