In my view a surprisingly good training aeroplane.
Got to disagree there. Yes it has excellent viz, a well laid out cockpit, stalls and spins well but has poorly harmonised controls and IMHO any training aircraft that fails to show so many parts of flying that people should learn (the high tail removes many secondary effects that a conventional aircraft has) cannot be a good trainer, and its not hard to fly well, just not the nicest around - though of course still better than being on the ground
