It was my first glass ship after 120 hours in a Ka6CR. Due to others
reports, my biggest concern was the all flying tail and it's
sensitivity. As soon as I started rolling and got into the air behind
the tug, I realized it was an overblown issue. Above 90-100 knots have
two hands on the stick. If you set the glider up each time, installing
the tail can be a bit of a pain the first few times. With a little
practice It will be easy. It's fairly obvious when it's installed
improperly.
It has a huge cockpit. It climbs great and runs just fine. And, the
Standard Cirrus will be easy to resell.
