It seems the side with the "extra" engine would cause some stability problems?

Not if Rutan designed it! Most of Rutan's aircraft are very stable and have good performance 8)

It handles a lot like the Lancair Legacy.  It's sensitive and requires a gentle touch...

Put it to you this way, fly the Corsair (that cool one that was realeasd last summer or so) and practice with that...if you can fly that, this will be a snap...

Try flying on one engine...it is schweet!

I just can't get past the way it manuevers.  That duel engine effect, coupled with the offset cockpit makes the COG far to the left of the pilot.  When I turn, I feel as though something is wrong with the aircraft . . .

I'll just stick with my little Pilatus . . .

;D
