Fluffy Bunny I totally agree.

The Lycoming Chipfire is a great machine to fly. Unfortunately the engine installation was never certified for aerobatics over here because most conversions were for glider towing.

From a pure handling point of view, I think the control harmonization of the humble Chippy approached perfection. The Dog wasn't too far behind but the Tutor is not even an also ran in this respect.

The Tutor wins hands down in the comfort and instrument/avionic fit but it's rate of roll is not even up to Citroen 2CV standards.

A certified Lycoming Spitmunk with a CSU would be the most fun you could ever have with clothes on.

PS A taildragger is a mans machine, wheelbarrows are for wimps.
