It seemed to me, if ever there was an aeroplane that hated moving on the ground...this was it.
All I can remember is my instructor laughing hysterically as we veered and weaved down the runway...first one way then the other as I gamely overcorrected tried to keep the thing straight....and that was just taking off.
After pulling on everything hard, I managed to get into the air on the very margins of the airfield. Three or more minutes of enjoyment before time to force the B****y thing back onto the ground...more entertainment for the back seat.....
Of course, after about ten hours, you work it out. Let the aircraft do the job itself. You just need to provide the tiniest, tiniest inputs.
Then she flies like a dream...
