Don was gracious enough to give me a few minutes on this plane on flight #2.

Really nice flying plane. As Don notes, the removal of dihedral improves flying characteristics but I think it also looks better. In the few minutes I flew it some things that stuck out to me were:

Nice slow downlines. I assume it is because it is a sizable plane and under 39lbs
Rolls great.
Snaps are easy- I was able to hit snaps right away.
I felt very comfortable with it more quickly than any other plane I have flown, including my own.

It looks to me like this plane is a real winner.
