I did fly an RV-9, and must say that that the RV-10 flies as easy as
the RV-9. The only thing that is difficult for a cherokee pilot is
the ground handling. the cherokee's bigger wheels, farther apart, and
nosewheel steering do make it easier on pilots. having said this, it
is not too difficult to learn how to ground-maneuver it. in the air,
both the RV-9 and the RV-10 are incredibly benign aircrafts. the only
"problem" is that they like to fly so much, a little thermal from
below can make you gain 100' of altitude fairly easily. (the old
cherokee was more like a tank that's dragged through the air.)
I fly very rarely these days---I have a 2 year old son. So, I am
still trying to sell my RV-10. (http://welch.econ.brown.edu/n325hp/).
The FAA has not even upgraded my registration yet from the builder
(Noel Simmons---does great work; highly recommended). The only reason
why I can keep it sofar as a fallback is that, although it is
practically a new plane for me everytime I get into the cockpit, it is
so very benign to fly. I know that it is not a great situation in the
long-run, though.
