Eurostar EV-97 handling..?

[jonasj]

I have a silly question regarding the Eurostor EV-97 microlight. How about the handling? Is it the same as a "normal" plane..that is; pulling the stick towards me makes to plane rise och pushing the stick away from me makes the nose (and plane) go down?

Yes, anybody used to a low wing light aircraft such as a PA28 would feel immediately at home, the main difference you'll meet is that the Rotax 912 engine is started and handled a bit differently to a Lycoming.

It does have a stick by the way, rather than the yoke found in most (but certainly not all) light aeroplanes.

Jonasj,

All three axis microlights behave the same way as 'conventional' aircraft. Its the weight-shift microlights which seem to have the opposite control responses.
