Default Standard Cirrus

I have very good memories of flying the Standard Cirrus having made 18
flights totalling 55 hours in one . It's a very good performer and I
think easy to fly. If I recall the airbrakes were not as effective as
with some other single seaters of that era , but never created a
problem for me. The only notation in my logbook after making the first
flight in it was that "it was more sensitive than the Elfe S-4A "
that I was a part-owner of. A consideration I'd offer is that it
would be advisable to have some reasonable experience in several
different single seaters before jumping into one. I had around 100
solo hours by the time I first flew the Cirrus.

Ron.
