They are not a bad machine to learn in generally. They have a reasonable cruise somewhere from 100 to 110 knots generally and a very slow stall speed. They have the reliability of the Rotax and are a nice machine to fly. Being fairly easy to fly, don't be surprised if it took you a few hours to "upgrade" to a Jab or similar.

Personally I would not like to be a private owner of one. The bubble canopy is extremely hot, you have to stand on the seats to get in it, they are not painted (they are gelcoat) and they are very expensive to buy.
