How can an RV-9 possibly cruise 50 mph faster than a 152 w/same engine

P.S. Zoom is a wiener.


I wouldn't say a "complete genius" but damn near that...

I built an RV-6 and was always amazed at how easily it
handled. You didn't have to move the stick so much as
merely put a little pressure in the direction you wanted to
go.

IMHO, the RV aircraft is as close as you can come to flying
completely by feel and instinct.
