I didn't have a whole lot of time in the Coupe but I didn't experience
any specific problems with it. It flew well, handled well in the
pattern, and was stable on the approach. Crosswind was "interesting"
but no big deal really.

It was just plain hard to crab all the way in to the flare and
landing...


It was "interesting" to say the least. I kept wanting to put a wing down
into the wind and press on the brake pedal :-))) In gusts it did "wander"
a bit but nothing critical.

Straightens right out after touchdown, but then steering it with the wheel
was real odd also. X-wind takeoffs are 'different' also. Sorta hold it on,
then pop it off, climb a little letting it drift, then turn into the wind,
kicking that brake pedal all the way ;-)



I guess I really will have to finagle a ride in the darned thing. It just
isn't really comfortable for me since, if I sit up straight as is normal for
me, I can just about look over the top of the windshield--well, not at the
center, but in front of where I'm sitting.
