Taildragger,
Depending on your experience and willingness to learn, you shouldn't have any trouble converting to an RV, providing you can find one!
All the RVs have delightfully light harmonised controls, with especially nice ailerons and a good roll rate. If you are used to spam cans the most striking thing at first will be the fantastic all round visibility.
Performance is excellent. Even a 150 HP RV4 with fixed pitch prop. will blow most other two seaters into the weeds.
I have built and am now flying my RV8, (200 hp, VP prop.) so my experience relates to that type.
Ground handling is easy, with positive steering, very good brakes and good visibility. They do have a tendancy to wobble from side to side due to the springy undercarriage.
The same springyness can make landings a bouncy affair. You have to be on the ball, but its not difficult.
The RV is a "real" aeroplane and has to be treated with some respect, but it has few faults and is basically quite easy to fly.
You will need to get used to things happening much faster than in, say, your average PA28. But its so much more fun.
To give you some idea: Flown solo with half tanks, I am airborne in 6 seconds and less than 100 metres. Flap up almost immedeately, accelerating in the climb to around 100kts-110kts while reducing to 2500 rpm. Climb at about 2000fpm depending on temperature etc. Cruise at low level 160kts indicated, burning around 36-37 litres/hour. 170 kts TAS at 6000ft is a good ballpark figure. In smooth air I normally descend at 170-180kts with 2 to 4 inches off the cruise manifold pressure.
Slowing down for the circuit is easy with some forward planning. It will fly nicely at 85kts and flap 15 behind the dawdling Cessnas. Approach varys with weight, wind gusts etc. 75kts on base, 65kts on short final covers most things. A bit slower over the hedge if you are light. Those short stubby wings have a fair bit of induced drag at low speed. With a VP prop. heavy weight and the throttle closed, the thing will drop like a brick. You just need to be aware of that. It means, however, that properly flown the landing distance is short, between 200m and 300m in the real world.
All in all the RV is a very clever design. It may not be the latest high tech plastic tadpole, but I love mine and so do most owners.
In the end you get what you pay for with this aeroplane. Good luck.
