Yep, and no worries about stalling or spinning either.

Did you find it handles turbulence better than a Tecnam lsa ? Was it noticeably quieter with the engine behind you ?

This thing handles wind/turbulence much better. Our initial flights were in 25-30kts winds. The day the video was taken was only 10kts of wind. Gyros have traditionally had a bad rep in the US but the European aircraft are far different. These things are impressive!!
