Did anyone read the pilot's report on how the thing flew? Someone
wrote one up while it was at Oshkosh and my recollection is that it
was a tad ponderous, requiring judicious control inputs which didn't
seem to affect the airplane for a long time...

In the local TV interviews, Fossett said it was "a handful"... that it
requires constant input to the point where the navigator/co-pilot handles
the throttles because the pilot dare not take the time to take his hands off
the stick....
