suggesting you can't fly one cross country without an autopilot.
In that case we have given you the wong impression...You can fly one
cross country very easily, its just that it is more tuned to yanking and
banking rather than flat and level cross coutry.

+++++ FOR THE RECORD !!!
I totally disagree about "Yanking and Banking". My wife and I flew our HDS 2100
miles down to Sun n Fun and back (with a stop down in Arkansas to visit a friend)
in 2004. The flying characteristics of the HDS (at least this one) are wonderful!
My wife is a pilot as well. She flew our aircraft a considerable part of that trip
and commented several times about how flying our Zodiac was FAR more fun than
flying the Cessna 172 we used to own.

You seem to imply that yanking and banking equals a bad flying
airplane?...Not in my book its FUN!
Personally I think this conversation has all gotten out of hand
somehow...I think this started with my using the term "twitchy" when I
really intended to imply "sensitive" and your way more "connected" to
the controls than the barge like C152/172.
To me the HDS the is trmendous fun but I bet it would be a handful in
IFR
