Austers are probably the most unpredictable aircraft I have ever flown. Do a beautifully executed approach, flare just right and it will probably bounce right down the field. Do a rushed approach and make a mess of the flare and it will probably settle on fine. Apart from this it's an ergonomic nightmare and personally I hope I never fly one again. However, there are many people that absolutely love them so the only answer is to try it for yourself.
