Because they are quick in roll? I am curious why people say this? I have never flown any IFR in them so I would like to know, unfortunately my only RV ride was a demo flight at Van's in N129RV. It seemed to be a very stable airplane to me. I guess it all depends on what one calls "serious" IFR too. Depending upon that answer one could argue that any plane without full de-ice, without real radar, without an engine driven by pistons, and the ability to climb well into the flight levels would really be any good. I plan to equip and use my plane IFR (I decided on the 9 because it seemed better for this). My IFR plans probably fall under most people's definition of "light" however. I just don't see how a 172 for instance would be really any better? Scott 90598 - wings on order >>>>>RV's are not appropriate airframes for "serious" IFR. Anyone saying otherwise has never flown "serious" IFR in them. An occasional IFR climb to clear destination is a much different story. ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 05:51:26 PM PST US From: plaurence@the-beach.net Subject: Re: RV9-List: RE: EFIS & IFR --> RV9-List message posted by: plaurence@the-beach.net I'm puzzled by this also. I've flown my share of IFR in a Grumman Traveler. However, I have not flown an RV9. I suspect that it will be equivalent or better. Peter RV9A Empennage.
