A true international classic.
Had the flying characteriscics of a brick sh#t-house, was built like one too and overcame nearly all of its deficiancies with brute thrust. The FG1 had a nav system guaranteed to make you laugh - if the nav kit made it to the same country as you it was a wonderful one. the FGR2 - a solid work-horse and the F4J a great little rocket-ship. All predated the computer! She would bite if you got it wrong but rewarded you handsomly when you got it right. Like most who had the pleasure to fly one - Phantastic. I think most of us were in love with the Big ******, I certainly was for 8 yrs worth of flying and still am now. landings = take-offs which is good!
