I don't want to sound snarky, because I really like flying that airplane - but I would expect your instructor to give you a good overview on that. Also, those numbers should be easy to find in the airplane's handbook. (I'd share the one I have, but it's in German!)

It's a lovely airplane to fly. Not a great useful load and not super fast. I enjoyed aerobatics in it. Dive to accelerate and add full power. Over the top of the loop bring the power back to avoid over speeding the engine.

I found it very twitchy on the ground. Nice handling in the air. I know someone "who might sell his if I'm patient." There are only a couple here in the US.

Enjoy flying it!
