Well it seems Horizon considers it a sport flyer, I just checked their website and nowhere do they use the term aerobat. Actually it the whole idea that an airplane has to fit into some rigid "classification" is pointless. Whether or not any airplane is 'aerobatic' is just a matter of the individuals perception that it is.

Its a low wing airplane a totally flat wing on a low wing ship would be terrible. Concerning aerobatics some of the very best of the low wing airplanes that I have flown (there has been my share of those) All used dihedral. Some of the very worst low wing airplanes that I have flown had a flat wing. Some of the very best high wing airplanes I have flown used considerable anhedral agine a flat wing is only half way there to that totally neutral roll stability.

So although I do not have one I do believe there will be just as many folks who 'perceive' it to be an aerobat as there are folks whose perception of it is as a 'sport flyer'. Heck I have been guilty of lumping the two together anyway.
