Just touch the throttle to 1200 RPM and the path flattens out giving excellent descent control. Sideslips also work and when performed with full flaps can give 1,000-1,500 FPM rate of descent. After you become familiar with the airplane a normal approach will be full flap, 40mph, no power, over the trees, sideslip, straighten, flair, flaps off, brakes on. Turn around and you will be amazed at how little room is needed. Set up about 1800rpm, 30mph, full flap, and you can do figure eights and 360's all day, on the spot.
Control feed back is exceptional.
As with any airplane it takes time to really get to know it, but once you do you will feel even the most subtle hint of a stall long before significant lift is lost. Our Shock Struts work much better than the old bungie type. The long stroke and hydraulic shock damping give much superior protection from those extra rough landings. Ask us about our energy absorbing front seat. Along with the kit, we supply instructions on videotape.
