As someone who has both an Eagle and an S2 in his hangar, "an Eagle is rather nicer than an S2", did make me smile!
Nicer if you want to trundle down to the coast with ageing aunt on a Sunday afternoon and show her a loop.
The roll rate is atrocious, I've only flown 4 different Eagles and none of them were "stellar" about the longitudanal axis.
The MX is not without its critics Stateside - and I mean chaps that have flown it.
