I actually soloed on a Kavalier. I'd planted my trainer before my flight instruction was complete. I was having a LOT of trouble learning to land due to the trainer being blown around in the wind on approach. Ground effect under the big, flat bottom, mucho dihedral wing didn't help any, either. I brought the Kav out to the field and landed on my first flight with it! The semi-symmetrical tapered wing cut right through the wind and the higher loading allowed it to track in straight and true. After I soloed, I learned aerobatics with it. Turn the controls up and it's a hot little number. I didn't know Sig was still making them, but I'm glad to see some are still in the air.
