Hi Richard,
Long time no see. My comments on the above would have to fall in the
unqualified category, since I did not build either one. But I did
purchase an F1 kit (since sold) and I have been on the F1 builders list
long enough to get a feel for the reaction of project owners. I have
talked with several RV-8 builders & owners of course.
In my opinion if ease of construction, throughness of plans and overall
quality of kit would be the deciding factor the RV-8 is the choice.
But if the end result is the major consideration, the F1 is your
target. Looks, performance, panache -- there is not much of a
comparison in my judgment.
However, to anyone who does not relish the actually building process:
BUY, don't build. Here I am somewhat qualified, having done both.
