Thanks so far guys.
When you say "its fun" can you eloborate? - why is it fun exactly? am curious...my perception is that
* it'll give me a new challenge, which of course is fun in itself.
* I'll develop stick n rudder skills and get fun from "feeling" the aircraft more
* better all ground visibility from the air (hi wing/tandem seating)
* be fun to fly a true classic instead of a "spamcan" - I mean just look at it...what a lovely machine...
