Greg....I own a Challenger II. It flys more like a General Aviation aircraft than the open frame Quicksilvers, etc. Not as much drag, so you can glide and you do not have to dive at the ground on approach to landing in order to keep your airspeed up. But... it is very light, so you do feel every little air current. The low end performance is phenomenal. Gets off the ground quick & climbs 1,000 - 1,400 ft/min. Just happen to be selling mine this year, so if anyone is interested, I will send them pictures.
