My wife has owned a Lark for two years and finds it very stable, easy to fly and economical. I like the steel tubing cage around the occupants, and the relatively slow touchdown speeds if needed. Have added shoulder harness and strobes to it and a traffic device. All in all, it has been reliable and simple. Not fast though.... plan on about 100 knots.
