Ideally the RV8 would come in at the same weight as a good RV4, this would
improve the handling and responsiveness.
Tom, with full fuel and two heavy guys your RV8 comes in well over the
original (inc' fuel) gross weight without any baggage. - best get your buddy
down to the gym !

the RV8 is that we both fit just fine., even when we're flying to a new
airport restaurant.

I think you would have to drill a lot of holes in the RV8 to
get it as light as a 4! It's pretty amazing the difference
in the size of the two. The 8 is a lot bigger, and if you put
an engine in it, it will weigh more than a 4. I'd bet that
an 8 with a 320 and nothing in the panel would weigh more
than a 4. Just a lot more material there.
