Thanks to all who gave me feedback on list and off about the ram air question. Also all the RV-10 guys who contacted me either directly or to my website enquiring about my V-8 for experimentals hang tight for a few more weeks till I get a handle on the possibilities of having a firewall forward kit available for the RV-10 this year.
Thanks again and of course do not archive this shameless plug. <G>

Hi Tedd-
Wow, what perfectly eloquent and succinct response! Well done!

I'll take you up on that.
I think the myth that RVs are difficult to fly is a little like the
taildragger
|
| Quote: | myth in that pilots who have little or no experience with both types fret
about
|
| Quote: | them while pilots who regularly fly them can't understand what the big
deal is.
|
| Quote: |
But the RV myth differs in that, while a pilot new to taildraggers does
have to
|
| Quote: | learn a couple of new things to fly them, someone transitioning from,
say, a
|
| Quote: | C-172 to an RV doesn't have to learn anything new. It's possible that
he'll
|
| Quote: | have to be a bit more careful to do the things he should be doing in his
Cessna
|
| Quote: | (but might have got lax about). But he doesn't have to learn anything
new.
|
| Quote: |
I suspect another factor leading to the RV myth is that so many private
pilots
|
| Quote: | have a background in a handful of airplanes that are designed to handle a
certain way (C-150/172, Cherokee), and RVs handle differently. I checked
out
|
| Quote: | in a C-172 long after I started flying RVs, and I found it much more
difficult
|
| Quote: | to learn than the RV. So I suspect it's the CHANGE that people find
difficult,
|
| Quote: | not the airplane. But, as a result of demographics, that change is far
more
|
| Quote: | likely to be Cessna-to-RV than the other way around.
Finally, there's the effect of manoeuvrability. Any vehicle that has
quicker
|
| Quote: | transient response and more sensitive controls is EASIER than a
lower-performance vehicle once you've adjusted to it. But it's also
HARDER to
|
| Quote: | go up the performance chain than to stay where you are (or go down).
