EB has a very compact cockpit. As with all LS gliders, the controls are very light. A really delightful aircraft to fly.

EB flies relatively nose high to the horizon. The pilot's view on initial ground roll and on the flare during landing will have the nose higher than normal.
Fillets have been fitted to this glider to assist the slow speed buffet over the stabiliser.
