Hi Guys.
I just completed another flight in my trusty Cessna 150. I mostly love this plane but usually get beaten to death in rough air. I have been planning the purchase of a flying RV-4 and am wondering how the RV-4 will compare in similar conditions. I would guess how a plane behaves in rough air is a combination of it's gross weight and wing loading. My Cessna grosses out at 1,600 pounds. Should I expect the ride quality of an RV-4 to be better, worse or the same as in my 150?
Thanks!
Dom
