I had my first flight this morning in an RV and I am still speechless.
I am a long time, low hour pilot. I have flown nothing but 30 to 40
year old rental C150/152/172's period, that's it. With that info, you can imagine the shock of flying with Alex De Dominicis in the RV10. When
he gave me the airplane and said, "finger tips only" I was not
sure. It didn't take long....WOW....what a solid, smooth, go where
you point airplane.
I have been in the waffle stage trying to decide if I wanted a Vans RV9A and
decided some time with Alex, being one of the Van's transition pilots, would
be the place to go. I can't say enough about Alex. He knew and was
waiting on my response to the airplane. He is great with his instruction.
We did some stalls and the increasing burble up to the stall is just super.
Turns, decents....man oh man...what an airplane
Enough ramble. I am done in now....time to get rolling on the RV9A and
now it won't be soon enough.
