If you have ever flown a Cub or a Champ you got a pretty good idea of what a Max is like - except that most Max's are more responsive and have a higher power-to-weight ratio (excluding VW-powered ones). The biggest difference.....and I can't emphasize this enough....this is a low-weight, high-drag aircraft in most iterations. Basically, an ultralight, whose usage will be highly influenced by wind and weather conditions. Much more so than any factory aircraft. A good level of stick-and-rudder skill will offset this to some degree, but it doesn't take a very strong crosswind to completely blow a Max off the runway in an instant, in spite of your skill or intentions. |
