A nice aircraft, some criticise it for being a bit 'Twitchy' but this might be because they are pretty light.
they aren’t particularly stable
IMHO both these show how many have got used to "flying" rice pudding aircraft! The Robin is actually very nice to fly and certainly not unstable, the aircraft I would suggest that it is being compared to are Pipers and Cessnas that are designed to take you from A-B with minimum interference from the pilot, to me that is not what flying is about!
