I would say the PT-17 lands like any other low wing sport plane. It won't slow like a trainer will but then again it's not designed as one. I'd say it lands comparable to my SIG SE and similar to your big stick. It won't be as smooth through the aerobatics like your big stick but it does respectable loops and rolls. Stall turns are not bad either. It looks really good on those low, slow passes and just doing horizontal figure 8's over the field. Nothing prettier in the blue sky than a yellow bipe.

Glad you liked my web page on the PT-17 and the videos there. The OS52 is a great engine for that plane.

If you have any other questions please feel free to email me.
