My dad got to fly one of these the other day and now we both want one. They are fairly affordable for a brand new aerobatic aircraft, they come as homebuild kits and are considered experimental.

Vans RV-8





F1 Evo

Steph, I'm really surprised that you haven't had that put on a T-shirt yet. -

Aerobatic and experimental in the same sentence, just doesn't seem right... Then add homebuilt...

Would be pretty cool though. -

as a third generation aircraft tech, I can attest to the quality and relative affordability of these aircraft, they are AWESOME birds! if you guys want some more detailed info on them you can check out the Van's Aircraft website or you can check out a very well known 'builder assistance' company here in California, Massey Aircraft Services, they do everything from sell you a box of metal/hardware or assemble it up to any stage from there to complete.
Our business shares a lot of the same customers as his and we've done work for each other several times over the years, aviation's a small community like that; I definitely recommend Massey's, they're not the cheapest up front but you'll get what you pay for, without a doubt. They're an absolutely top-notch shop...so for those of you that are high rollers on here and would actually consider any of the Van's aircraft, check them out! -

I have this condition, where I perceive OEM parts as 'broken' and in need of aftermarket replacement.
