OK Tiger, here's my opinion. I agree with Ken, both for his reasons and for some of my own. I like flying on the wing instead of the prop. Everyone wants to let the prop drag the plane around through all of the maneuvers instead of figuring out how to make the plane and/or the wing do the work. I enjoy taking my admittedly overpowered (yes I like my planes fast too) planes and really pulling back on the power until they are just lumbering about the sky. Then I do loops and rolls and the like with them without them falling from the sky. Sure you have to gain a little altitude and then a gentle dive for speed and figure out how much energy the wing is going to need to perform the maneuver and come out where you want it. Not always easy. Once you get that down, do it again with the flaperons down.
You really learn the slow speed handling of your plane that way. Low level cuban eights just above stall speed can get your adrenalin going.
