Since I haven't flown my RV6A yet, I was wondering about slow flight.....we hear plenty about how fast these planes fly but I'm wondering how they feel when wanting to fly slow. Such as flying next to a slower plane like a Starduster Too doing 110 mph. or a J3 Cub doing it's best at 85? What is a comfortable slow speed for some local sight seeing or photo taking?
My shortwing Colt cruises at 105 mph. Slow it down to 80 and it feels as though you are really dragging the tail....because you are! So I'm wondering how will my 6 feel if I want to slower her down for a bit?
