On low rates, easier than any trainer. Those high wing trainers with their flat bottom wings can be a beeotch to land and take off in high winds, especially cross winds. Flying in high winds is a challenge too, they float away and take lots of engine to fight the wind. Ever since I went to normal planes it's much easier. The Magic Extra 300L is very very easy to fly. It floats right in. No snaps at very low speeds.
