Instrument Platform?

      Hello Guys-
      
      I am new to the list, but I have a simple question..
      
      Does anyone feel that an RV-6 or 7 would make a decent instrument "trainer"
      platform? My father wants to buy us something for me to learn instruments
      on.. He's a Cap. at Fedex, so he doesn't need to learn.. :) Anyway, I'd like
      to have an RV-6(7) over something like a 182..
      
      Anythoughts?
      
      Please be brutally honest!
      
      Thanks
      
      Jeff

      Jeff,
      The RV series of aircraft are sport planes designed for recreational
      aerobatics. This means they have low stability and very high
      controllability. The combination leads to a "twithcy" plane that is not at
      all a good instrument platform. In my view my RV7 will have a serviceable
      two axis autopilot to ease the pilot workload in tough IFR conditions. 
      
      Jon Johanson fleew around the world twice in an IFR RV4, so it can be done,
      but my first paragraph is a summary of his comments to me when I asked him
      your question. 
      
      I will be doing my instrument training in my RV7, but I know what is ahead
      of me.
      
      Regards, David Francis, VH-ZEE, Canberra, Australia.
