My thanks to the three guys who responded to my newbie RV questions (7A vs 8A, which should I build, and priming fiberglass).
I think the secret for the future is to couch my questions in the context of greenhouse gasses, ecosystems and global warming. E.g., is the 7A more like a Prius, Jetta Diesel, or Crown Victoria?
I did the demo flight at Oshkosh last year in the 7A, and sat in the 8A. In my mind the advantage of the 7A is more panel space for IFR flying, although it was pretty clear that being an instrument platform was not a primary design objective--kind of like my old Grumman cheetah as an instrument flyer. Plus it is an all matched hole kit, which I think would be nice. However by the time I get done you won't need much panel space for instruments with the advances in EFIS and all. The advantage of the 8A was more room for me, and I suspect it might be a bit more fun to fly. I don't care that much about being able to interact with my passengers.
I did hear that liberals like the 7A better....
Would anyone who has flown both the 7 and 8 compare the overall flying experience?

This conservative prefers the 7A.

The real conservatives all built 3s, 4s and 6s, but they're mostly
obsolete now (the builders, not the planes.)
On a serious note- I built a 6, and am now building an 8. I find that
most of my flying is alone. The 8 does give each occupant a bit more
room (especially up front) although the back can get a little cozy for
bigger guys. If you do any formation flying, the 8 is a better platform
for that. I believe it is also more fun, but that is very subjective.
