I wonder if anyone can advise....

I went from flying my TBM and Saratoga earlier in the year as the kids are older and don't want to holiday with their dad.

So I bought an RV-7 in Feb and have about 130 hours in it. I do basic Aeros but it's not responsive and with no inverted systems inverted flight it's impossible. It's zippy though for getting around. I have about 15 hours of Aeros in it. Prior to this I had no Aeros apart from my training in the bulldog to get the rating.

So I bought an eagle on September 5 and have about 20 hours and 12 hours of Aeros.

My manoevers are getting better and more precise as my confidence builds. I just wondered what the progression is from loops, Cubans, slow rolls etc and how long it takes to get good? I suppose it's just practice and more practice but any advice would be welcome.

Thanks again



John
