i must agree with the comment about the aircraft hiding the pilots sins, The tecnam series are extremely easy to fly, and can pretty much land themselves if you get the speed spot on, but the Jab, is easy to fly, but hard to master, as it does not hide your mistakes. in my opinion, producing better pilots.

though with the SFTC jabirus, they operated a large fleet of them, but didnt own them, and SFTC failed to meet their lease agreement requirements, requiring the aircraft to fly a minimum of 10 hrs a week, and hence, the Jabirus were returned. (just a rumour i heard while looking at purchasing one of their jabirus myself)
