Any general info about handling and performance is welcome.
Juniors are apparently a bit underpowered with their 0-200 and small wings - they go pretty fast but don't climb so well at altitude. I've never flown one despite some familiarity with Bölkows more generally. One in the US is flying now with an IO-240.

Bjorn Andreasson was working on Convair jets with very thin wings when he designed the prototype. Maybe some of that came through in the design.
