Have paxed, and flown/landed one from the wrong seat on a local flight - Can't comment on the endurance, or the payload ability.. however, it does cruise about as advertised, if not a bit quicker. Full flap descent / approach is somewhat mind bending, as is the climb angle at Vy - friend doesn't generally use full flap. Found it fairly conventional, if a little lively (as others have mentioned) to place on the floor - runs out of energy quickly in the flare due to light weight (compared to warriors etc). negative flap cruise - clever, efficient, and not that odd! Effectively decambers the wing, hence reduces the induced drag.

[edit to add, a CT2K, not an LS. My bad.]
