I'd say it's pretty forgiving. It doesn't have anywhere near the rudder power of a Super Cub or any of the Piper taildragger family, so less crosswind capability. The Sonex design features a steerable tailwheel with a direct link, and there is no differential braking. Turns on the ground are wide. It's very light and simple though. No issues with the ruddervators. They work.
