Having flown the MTO Sport, M16, Cavalon, M24, and the Calidus I’ve settled on the Calidus as suiting me best. 99% of my flying is on my own, so the central flying position makes sense. The view isn’t as good as the MTO Sport but it’s pretty close to it. I prefer being enclosed as you can comfortably read a map, have a drink, and fly without a helmet and bulky flying suit. However, the downsides are that the rear seat can be uncomfortable for the passenger, and the canopy does not a have safety release (I don’t know anyone who’s managed to get out unaided after a roll-over). The lack of safety release is my biggest concern. Things to watch for are: The nose comes up pretty quick on take-off - be ready to catch this! Cracks in the welds on the brackets at the bottom of the mast / top of cockpit, but this may be an earlier model issue. I know the cracks have affected at least a couple of the fleet in the UK.
