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 ;-)
