It the perfect combination.
Im in same situation as Sam. I think they are the perfect complement of airplanes.
I've got an RV6a I fly if Im going anywhere or taking the kids for a flight and a "legal eagle" for pure enjoyment.
My Legal Eagle is called a spread eagle. Has a Honcho Wing which is a fabric covered metal structure. It was the test bed plane for Culver Props. They build the Back Yard Flyer.
My Eagle has their engine/prop package which I love. Electric start, 4 Stroke, sounds like a Harley. . . and burns 1.2 gal an hour putting around. I fly the RV all winter . .. and when I go to the airport in the summer evenings. . its almost always the Eagle. I'll fly 4 or 5 times before filling the 5 gal tank back up. Compared to the RV its like flying for free.
Its not the anti-RV exactly. Its just the opposite end of the spectrum. They are the perfect complement to each other.
