This was the result of a very bumpy, offshore wind day in SoCal. Straight and level, no aerobatics, on my to KSMO to meet my ladyfriend for lunch. Bumpy, but no issues.

I was just thinking about this today, did a flight from Minden Tahoe to Redding in the Sky hawk, it always gets rough on the edges of the lake, am I in for a more exciting ride in the 7?

getting beat up
The neat thing about an RV4 is you can fly above it at 13,000 to 15,000 ft I do it all the time in Nevada;)

I?ve been thinking the same (while I put my panel together) as a Archer Driver, I wonder what the 7 is going to be like and will it be as easy to drive in the Texas Summer (thermal H$!! in the mid day). I guess only time will tell.

Thanks for all the feedback guys!

Near 200 MPH and a light wing loading, they'll beat the heck out of ya!
I've had to slow down after a cold frontal passage, it was so rough. Best, |

I got into some rotors going into Moontown for breakfast last month (41kts @ 2000' blowing over the hills adjacent to the airport) that pounded me against the canopy multiple times. It was so bad I was seriously concerned about what would happen if the harness let go..... Ordered a 5-point G-Force harness yesterday. |
