New to the forum. I am looking at a series 7 and have seen handling descriptions that it flies like a heavier plane, easy transition from 172's, etc. I do not want a kite like airplane that gets tossed around. Is that handling statement true? Also, how is its cross wind capabilities? I fly from a small strip with variable and gusty winds most of the time. Because of this, I am looking at the tricycle gear format. Thx.
