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 On Apr 14, 2008, at 10:36 PM, N1BZRich@aol.com wrote: Here is one for now.

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.

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.
