I just completed a flight from East coast to West coast. At least 60% of the flight segments were in light to moderate (per pireps and weather briefs) turbulence. Even with my Oregon Aero seat I have to say this is the most uncomforable trip I have taken in a light GA plane. I can understand why the Bonanza I used to fly was better in turbulance (better to me means less fluctuation in aircraft attitude and bouncing) but the 9 also seems worse than my experiences in the Tiger, Cheetah, C-172 and Cherokee 180 have have previously owned and flown.
Is the light wing loading of the RV9 the reason for this?
And yes, you do need to keep those sea belts tight or Bose headset will hit the canopy.
