Hi Fred,
I am happy with the long wings in most respects, we get almost 26:1
glide ratio and decent minimum sink. The handling is pleasantly light
compared to the Katana Extreme MG I trained in. We are getting a 130
KTAS cruise at 5.3 gph, which is not a lot less than with the short
wings. My only complaint is with the air brakes, they just don't have
enough authority.
regards,
Terry
