The various RVs I've flown all seem to fly well with the stick held about half way down. Clearly the 9 will fly a little differently but does anyone feel the stick too long? How about in recovery from unusual attitudes or in steep turns? Would shortening the stick leave too little mechanical advantage in the stressful corners of the flight envelope? Your .02 much appreciated.
