Thanks, got just under 5 hours in it in the end.
An interesting beast, clearly modelled upon the PA28 in it's general form. It felt distinctly gutless, but that's mostly due to airfield density altitudes of 6,000+ft where I was flying.
With the advice of the instructor who checked me out, I settled on 2 stages, and was flying it around MTOW-250lb, which meant that the 70-75KIAS was a little fast and it tended to bounce. A little lower - slightly under 70 I found gave a more elegant landing - whether that had anything to do with the relatively high TAS at those density altitudes I'm unsure.
Control forces displacements in all three axes were clearly less than for the similar PA28, which gave it a more crisp feel that I rather liked. But, hands off it was very stable.
I wasn't fast in the cruise, full throttle / lean to peak was giving me about 2400rpm / 100KIAS, but that may again have been a hot/high thing.
Overall, a nice machine and I enjoyed it - if I find myself back in that neck of the woods again, I may have another go.
