Rv's are fast. but not good in turbulence, that is because the short wings...
a longer wing like in the europa gives you smoother ride...

"Rv's are fast. but not good in turbulence, that is because the short

What? I thought the higher the wing loading the better ride in
turbulence and shorter wings usually mean higher wing loading.

Higher wing loading at the same air speeds generally means a less bumpy
ride. But, if you are flying the higher wing loaded aircraft much faster
than one with lighter wing loading then the acceleration due to the bump can
be the same or greater.
I find at slower airspeeds like in the pattern or on final my RV feels like
its on a rail compared to what a hot thermal day would feel like in say a
Cessna 150. But, I have also found that encountering turbulence at high
cruise airspeeds can quickly bounce my head off the canopy - just glad the
thing is stressed for aerobatics {:>)
