This thread is hilarious, and sad.
When I flew Warriors, Ercoupes, Pathfinders, Cubs, Constellations, Cezznas, and everything in between, I was a reasonably well-respected member of this community.
Now that I proudly own and fly an AMAZING RV-8, I've been labeled an outlaw, unsafe, and reckless. I've been been told by people I've respected for years that they would never fly with me.
Amazingly, although you'd never know it by what's been written on this site, I've taken every safety precaution. I've hired and trained with the best transition trainer in the business, Tom Berge -- who is now ALSO being slandered as "third rate" by a pilot without a clue. I've done no aerobatics, pending professional aerobatic training. I've carefully measured and test flown departures and landing techniques -- even sharing GoPro video of them here in this group for analysis and education.
To no avail. The anti-RV mindset here is so completely ingrained that those who have the malady can't even see it. Until I experienced it for myself, I would not have believed it.
Several people warned me about the POA bias, but I refused to believe them. In fact, I questioned its existence right up till I was hit in the face with it. Anyone who denies that it exists need only read this thread, and see how it rapidly degenerated. It's all the proof anyone needs.
To the OP: Go to Vansairforce.net. You will get type-specific, straightforward answers from people with a thousand times the knowledge and experience of anyone here. That site is a great place where you will be made to feel welcome from Day One. It's truly a wonderful resource that I cannot recommend more highly.
