And many of them don't. I think you may be falling into the trap of thinking LAA=rag & tube. Seen (e.g.) a Van's RV-7?

It may be true that THIS pilot has a lower level of skill than many but that's far from the case for a high proportion of the LAA flyers that I know. One reason for that could be that I have a feeling that your typical LAA flyer gets more hours than a typical CoA flyer (with all that means for currency and aggregated experience) - possibly because the latter numbers are skewed by renters, perhaps?
I hear what you say and used the term 'typical' deliberately. I don't consider RV7s necessarily typical Permit types.
