Are you talking about one of these, or some other aircraft:

Yes, I hear they do require a lot of rudder control but I kind of like the ability to be in an open aircraft with ability to be fully enclosed too and the useful load capability but have never flown one so don't know really. I am just looking for comments from other to get others perspective and also if any one has flown one.

I haven't flown one, but I saw them from time to time. There's a local 1-seat Challenger that has absolutely astonishing build quality, but I keep missing the builder.

From what I heard, they are a popular and well-proven design. Unfortunately, the company went belly up that tried to make S-LSA out of them under the name "Sport Hornet" with a 912 engine. So it's kit-only going forward.
