I?m a very low-time pilot. Very interested in the rv-9 for its design envelope slow and fast speed range, STOL performance, cross country features, etc.
My wife says, heck, why settle with the ?9, I?ll support you if you start the 10 (and yes, that means, not necessarily support with the ?9, I tried to explain the cost diff but since she doesn?t pay the bills, it went over her very pretty head). Besides, what are we going to do with the kids while we are gallivanting around she says?
Can anyone offer their opinion about a comparison between the rv-9 and rv-10? I know the ?10 is considered a high performance machine, but doesn?t it have similar qualities as the ?9. Wouldn?t the ?10 be more benign than the 4-8 acro-birds? I know the rv-10 will require additional training, but in the long run if that is what will suit our needs better, why not?
I?m as much interested in the build process as hobby, so let?s assume I?m OK with the 2000+ hours commitment.
