Just flown both this week for fun as a PPL(A)
Ikarus probably is more forgiving as controls not so "twitchy" for want of a better word as the Eurostar. Amazing obstacle climb at 48kts !!! Felt nearly vertical. And off the ground and climbing is very snappy.
Very quickly got used to the throttle and shared right stick. Putting 1st stage of flap not a problem. But 2nd (only 2 stages) was much harder... could have done with another 2" in arm length. But most males will find it no problem.
Interesting solution to the problem though, sharp nose up to release pressure on the flaps, whip the flap in, drop nose pronto to counter balance...
Blocked fuel line on final proved interesting... power off = prop stopped. but quick press of the starter button and away we went. Well until landed then idle again = no prop. Tower might have been wondering what was going on as a stop/start prop at least 3 times before exiting 1st right.
Eurostar certainly nippy. Personally miss not having a DI. Trim is very very responsive... but then more used to C150/152 and PA28's. Amazing sideslip though 2000ft/min with 45 degree bank. Would certainly get through that hole in the clouds!!!
