I absolutely love mine. I built it from a kit as a tail-dragger and added outboard aileron servos in the wing. I soloed on an Avistar and destroyed it my first time out on my own. If I had it to do over again, I would not have bought another Avistar, I would have gone right to the Tiger (that was finished and waiting to fly). I find it much easier to fly than my Avistar due to it not feeling as mushy in the air. It does exactly what you tell it to do with no bad habits. If you're comfortable with a trainer, you will have NO problems with the Tiger. I had no problems with take-off or landing as a taildragger. In fact, I really like that it doesn't float in as much as a trainer on landing - it's a lot easier to control when and where you land it.
