Default Flying an RV is like...

...strapping on a set of wings. You think it, it does it.

Less for the RV-10, obviously, but given its size, its a harmonious bird too.

Pretty close to what I was thinking since it flies so natural but also the view out the window.

I call the Citabria a dump truck when comparing it to the RV.

Default Flying an RV....

Not as good as a Pitts, but much more practical, useful and comfortable. Flame suit on! Don't get me wrong. I love my -8.
