So it was loaded close to gross when it was flown. According to Phil, it actually flew very nicely burning about 4 gallons per hour at 105 knots and cruised quietly and easily at at 120 knots IAS. Climbed about as good as our Apollo Fox (similar to Gary's plane). Stalled at 39 knots clean. Controls were very harmonized. Phil kept saying it flew a lot like the Apollo Fox except had less adverse yaw during steep turns. That to me means it flew pretty harmonized and very well. Phil is not easy on airplanes he flies especially in their handling. He is not easy with his compliments whether it was a Remos or Paradise or Sport Cruiser. He has found handling quirks in all of them in his opinion. He didn't in the 162 and he thought 162 flew faster than some of faster looking LSAs that look like they should fly faster but don't quite do it.
Just FYI. It certainly looked well done inside and outside.
