The brakes have been mentioned, most of those I've seen have had the
approved mod to make them double paddle. Not a bank breaker.
There is an excellent web site for the Std Cirrus, with all the information
you could want.

Check the stab for lateral slop, as I remember the tip can move up and
down a good half inch and still be within tolerance! Can be re-bushed
when too much slop shows up. I kept a firm grip on the stick with my
right hand and tucked my elbow in tight against my side when going
over 70 knots. Good machine with a favorable handicap in the US. An
Eberly trailer is a +.
Have fun,
