Thanks to those that sent pics!!!!!! I have admired...well actually drooled
over this plane for the last 2 years of Sun n Fun. Being a novice pilot
with about 150 hours of flying only a cessna 172, my fear is the transition
from a yoke to stick. I have been reassured by almost everyone that it is
not an issue and will be easy. Can anyone offer some advice on this? I
live in SW Florida where the weather makes for ideal flying and I'll be
working on my IFR rating this summer if time permits. I'll be using the
plane for personal enjoyment flying Florida. Any advice? Thanks. I too
hope to become a lightning builder/owner soon!!!
Fred

There was a lengthy discussion on the Matronics RV10 list about this Safety
Trim a couple of months ago. It was well received and a group buy was
organised. Please note that the high control forces in a RV10 with a run
away trim make it nearly impossible to fly.

Fred,
I brought the first Diamond into our flight school. The instructors were apprehensive
about flying a stick. I would take them out and tell them to ride through
the first take off with their hand on the stick. At rotate speed I would
tell them to rotate gently. I had my hand on the stick all the time. Every
one of them did great and within 30 minutes I would have let any of them fly it.
We did have to go through some ground school, but the transition is extremely
easy. The lightning is a dream to fly also.
Scotty
