The reason I ask is that I actually like the looks of the 8A (kind of like a T34) and I thought it might be easier for my wife to fly. I was looking at a QB 8 kit for sale and was wondering what it would take to convert ...

RV8 conversion to RV8A??

May have been answered but I couldn't find it. Can a RV8 be converted to Tricycle Gear?

Thanks,
