Randall,
I'm sorry I haven't gotten back to you. The GPS and a couple other
instruments aren't there. The plane starts off with a lot of nose up trim
and it has so much power that you have to get right on top of that. Controls
are sensitive, so if you want nice easy landings you have to adjust your
joystick sensitivities. Also, the Imp doesn't really stall, but at stall
speed you can't control it.

Well, the stall issue is very similar to my ultralight which can be seen
at http://home.comcast.net/~al-mills
It (mine) will stall, nastily sliding towards the lower wing if you stall it
in a turn. In straight and level it won't stall, it mushes and you can
control it. You either have to add power or lean forward a bit to get the
speed back up, preferably before you get to the ground because it will not
flare in a mush.
The biggest issue I had with the imp was the severe nose up default
trim. The second was the pane / instruments not there. The plane flies
really fast and yet lands slowly enough so that's pretty nice. I usually fly
a Cub or something small like that, and I was caught off guard by the
sensitivity of the controls on the Imp. That's overcome-able though.
I do want to thank you and everyone that contributes to all the neat
planes and scenery I can get for my sim.
