IO 540,
Your keening for the characteristics of the certified AC is the opposite of the EAA homebuilding movement. If you enjoy dull, lethargic, glacial control response stick with over twisted, stall stripped, parachute equiped, nose dragging crap they are churning out now.
You probably would not venture forth without your GPS batteries being fully charged either. It is no wonder Canada had so many Aces in WW1.
