I love the 7ECAs; a great plane! Got lots of TW time in that bird.
I'm finishing up my -7 now, and did some transition training last week with Mike Seager in a real -7, and OMG, the -7 is NOT a Citabria! I need an extra leg to jam the right rudder down on takeoff. The RV is a way more capable plane, but with the big engine and slippery fuse ... it's a new and wonderful beast.
At least, stalls are completely benign on the -7, even more gentle than a 7ECA.
Enjoy the rag wing, but only as a transition to a real plane ;-)
