Very different from what I'm used to. The only thing I've ever flown (aside from a brief stint in a paper cup, er, Piper Cub) was a glider, which is pretty much the essence of low-speed stability. You really have to work to stall them, and a soon as you stop making them stall, they stop stalling. I wonder what it would feel like to fly something made with almost the opposite in mind...
