Max,
I have most experience with the Avid - they are great fun to fly, forgiving and safe handling but are very different from typical club hacks. Being light and ( in the avid case) having quite high wing loadings and relatively high stall speed for their size you need to watch approach speed carefully. ( just like all other aircraft.) Being light ( mine is 503 lb dry) and draggy speed bleeds off *very* quickly. This I think has been a major factor in many of the arrival incidents in the early days. That apart once adjusted to the very light controls and powerful rudder you will have fun. The flaperons ( again in the avid case) are useful in very small amounts for a touch of nose down trim in the cruise, or you can use them to make landings or takeoffs very frightening - stall speed comes back by next to nothing and roll control goes digital ( on or off ). If you want to PM me I can put you in touch with possible sources for these aircraft and inspectors with detailed knowledge of the type.
