got to fly back seat in the jet…incredible machine. It flies really well once you get used to it. The ailerons and elevator are solid feeling and the rudder (yaw) is really light. After a few minutes of feeling it out it really is a delight to fly. I’m not a jet guy so getting used to the “rabbit and turtle” took a bit…In my mind it doesn’t matter which engine gets you to 250kts (be it Jumo or CJ6-10) its about the handling. It has an incredible roll rate and turns as stable and tight as anything I’ve flown thus far. Great airplane, glad they didn’t have better engines.
