Jodel 1050

The best machine that performs on an 0-200.
Yes you will have to 'fly it' and be careful of crosswinds (especially on tarmac) however it is a great touring machine on the power.
I assume the group has a 'check pilot' who will show you the ropes and it is certainly happier on grass. (keep an eye on the tail wheel springs/connections) if they are correctly adjusted it makes the operation much easier. I consider this to be an essential pre flight requisite on any Jodel (indeed any TD with that set up). Ah another thought; keep an eye on the COG as it will 'swap ends' even quicker if too aft.
