| Thanks for sharing the great video. Nice job of production. How do you find the Eaglet compaired to the Sierra? I have flown the Sierra quite a bit and really like it, but I've never flown the Eaglet. |

The Eaglet is very stable. It is a few kts slower than the Sierra but has similar characteristics. It had good cross wind capabilities, it is very roomy, it has toe-brakes, and it has better visibility than the Echo. We flew 7 hours from Maryland, to Long Island (the end of it), back around the northside of NYC and home. We took a few detours along the way, stopping for breakfast in Delaware. The plane handled great. It did not bounce around much with the afternoon thermals. It trims out really nice.
Overall, I was very impressed. The Sierra is still one of my favorites because of the open canopy. However, for a cruiser, the Eaglet is great.
Do you rent from Cornerstone? |

| Yes. When I rent, I rent from Cornerstone. That is where I got my ticket last year. Great people there. I try to stay current in their Sierra so I can use it when & if I want. |
