Robin - urgh
Just got checked out in a Robin DR400 in France. Can't say I would really choose to fly this type given a choice (which there isn't, here). Seems very bouncy in flight, quite heavy to control esp in roll yet not very stable either. My instructor's advice was largely to leave it alone and let it sort itself out, and I'm certainly willing to believe he's right. The controls are idiosyncratic, to say the least, and in fact the whole thing rather reminds me of one of the weirder Citroens. Oh, and the airspeed is in km/h. Surprisingly, the altimeter (actually both of them, for some reason this particular plane at least has two of them) is in feet, not metres. Must have been an oversight.
Anyone else have experience in the type and in something rather more mainstream?
