Have not flown an Easy Sport, but a 4*40 was my second after my Avistar. It`s a great first low wing IMHO, only thing that I sometimes found a little annoying is that it will float FOREVER on landing. It will also teach you the importance of SMALL elevator control inputs for flare or else it will balloon. No doubt would still be flying it if I hadn`t lost it to a bad battery[]. Again in my opinion, a good BB .46 is a perfect engine for it.
