Just finished about 20 hours in the "Gut-less" we use for IFR training. Found it a lot heavier in the controls than the standard 172's but nice to see some bigger numbers on the ASI. Climbs like a sack of !!!!! , I suppose thats what you get when you've got something thats weighs about the same as a 185 and only 180hp up front. Pretty good for first RG/CSU type though.
Had a few probs with electrics lately though, a full electrics failure and magneto probs too. Still, thats GA for ya!
