I would highly recommend the Yankee. I owned one for years and it would be a
much better choice than an RV as they are too easy to fly. The Yankee is
fairly quick on the controls, climbs like an anemic kid with a cold but does
act a lot like a KR except during landing where it sinks like a rock instead of
floating!!
Just my .02..

An F86 would be ideal. If that's not available
I'd go for one of the lower numbered RV's, i.e.
6,7,8. The 10 is too big and heavy. I've heard
the Yankee might be good. If you haven't flown
much lately I'd suggest you get 10 hours in 30
days in anything then go for a ride in something
slick and light on the controls like the RV
series. First flight in an experimental is not the way to get current again.
Biggest thing to remember is rest you arm on your
leg or similar, fly with your wrist, relax, and
fly it like any other airplane. It will be quick
and lighter on the controls than most any other
airplane but push the stick forward for down,
back for up, left for left wing down, etc.. I
can tell you got the idea already............
