i tend to differ....
I base my opinion lift surfaces and power to weight ratio...
a hurri2c was modified to be able to carry quad hispanos (Need Kev's Xpertise)
Wats an Rv8's puny wingspan compared to an Hurri?
RV8??? I dun think so...
IMO i feel that the laws of physics and an RV8's engine are not going to allow it to have a performance equal ot better than hurricane...
RV8 can barely do 200mph and yet its gonna carry 4 hispanos that weigh about 40lbs each? we talking about 160 extra pounds....
I think thats a big burden for a plane that weighs a little over 1,000 lbs and whose engine only produces about 150hp...
jus my 2 Centz....
