10 hours in the 67m.. one of the best aircraft I have flown, was just starting to enjoy it when someone bent it taxying... now i have to fly the spam cans again..

Starting takes a bit of practice (need three hands and if you even look at the throttle when starting from hot it overprimes) but once it is going it is a joy. Just remember to bang the canopy with your fist as part of the pre take off checks (see earlier post for why). The M that I flew needed very little rudder with power (or for that matter in turns).

Roll rate a tad slow and sensitive in pitch (go easy with the trim wheel), but all in all a great fun aircraft.. go fly or even better go buy...
