Yes the man speakeh the truth. I flew my E4 in a TD contest
today and although it was a 2 or 10 day I did feel much better after round five
than round one. I have not flown the plane much so do not know how to compensate
for turbulence and what is really up air. The point is, hours count, not minutes
or seconds but hours in the air with the ship.
BTW, did I say it was a 2 or 10 day?

Bill,
Odds are good that you could not fly it
comfortably. The CG would be too far aft and the roll rate too high for
starters! Of course if JW had observed your flying style, he might set
it up for you and not for him - he's just that kind of guy! If you were
to let George Joy try your Compulsion, he will immediately tell you that you
do not have enough rudder. George likes lots of rudder.
Personally, I can't do much with my left hand but scratch a few itches.
While it is nice to get other opinions, you must
adjust the machine to your style. Others can give you advice, but
you must decide what the model is going to do for you.
My opinion based upon a few years of
observing.
