Fellow Builders,
Has anyone been able to get in touch with Evan Johnson (builds RV tanks)
lately? He's had my tank parts for some time and I haven't been able to
reach him over the last month or so.
I have left a few messages and no return calls.

I'm getting ready to order a RV-7 within the next few days. In reading the
many posts comparing a RV-9 to an RV-7, I think I'm comfortable going with
the 7.
Before ordering, I'm wondering if anyone on the list flew a Bonanza or Baron
prior to moving to the RV-7 since I have over 1,000 hours in these aircraft?
Essentially I'm trying to get an idea of what I've read on the list
referring to the RV-7 having lighter control forces than the RV-9. How
would you compare the RV-7 to a Bonanza? Lastly, my basic mission is flying
around the area, hence the RV-7, but I do about 1 cross country a month.
With an autopilot, are the lighter control forces a non-issue in cross
country? How is the RV-7 in turbulence compared to a Bonanza?
Thanks!
Gary Strong

Bonaza and Baron are like trucks compared to the 7. I fly one thousand mile
trip a month in my 7 , no autopilot, and it is a non issue and pure
pleasure all the way! A friend has a 9 that I have flown and the ailerons
are a little stiffer but it is no big deal and he is not into aerobatics so
it makes no difference to him.

My 7 sucks in turbulence....any airplane that is this light (empty weight
1103LBS,1550 loaded by myself, full fuel and a bag) will get bounced around
more than a 3K lb Bonanza. I use to fly my 7 from LA to Salt Lake city. I
have over 85 round trips to be exact and with my autopilot, sat weather, sat
radio and tcas it is an awesome machine. My 7 would do the trip 563NM in 3.5
hours average and burn 26 gallons of fuel with a 180HP with fixed pitch. Not
to shabby.
