Anyone here a pilot?

I am working towards my Commercial certificate. We just got a new plane at work to train for a relatively new rating, the Sport Pilot rating. The plane is an Indus Thorpedo T211. It looks like a toy, but is a blast to fly. I have flown it 4 days in a row.

One cool feature is that you can open the canopy in flight. It has great climb out, but has shitty cruise.

Here is a pic:



Really simple Jabiru engine, no mixture control, no nav, hand brake (not toe brakes)
