I too thoroughly enjoyed flying the 115. True it is not as easy to land as a Cessna but what is? Likewise the flaps are not as draggy as a Piper or Cessna you just have to fly it a little more accurately. But what a delightful environment to go flying in. The canopy makes it feel spacious & the view is far superior to that afforded by most spam cans.
A word of caution, forget what Sir George says about a trickle of power. Learn to fly an accurate approach & land it properly every time regardless of runway length then you will be well prepared for all runways. I don't recall it being difficult to land at all (try an Auster for that).
