This is a superb airplane! It flies like a C172 with power steering - it is effortless to fly, and very responsive. It slips very well, and landings are easy. Stalls are nonevents. The airplane has a 13:1 glide ratio, so attention is required to slow down to 68 kts in the pattern to lower the flaps. I have about 60 hours in an Evektor Sportstar, and I would say that the Super Echo is easily 5-10 kts faster under the same conditions.
