I hadn't flown in Miffy at all till yesterday, but it was fine. It felt very different from RRW (for which I have a soft spot), and even from WKM. I liked the retro feel of the single channel radio.

It behaved fine in the stall with no apparent tendency to drop a wing. We didn't do a spin recovery as it has wooden wings.

Any difficulty I had keeping it straight on the runway I will put down to a combination of exam nerves and a developing crosswind whose strength I didn't fully recognise till the last couple of circuits...

My 9 year old son is very keen to come with me on my next flight, but I suspect his mother may be slightly less keen. However, I believe he can legally occupy a Warrior back seat during a navex, which should be OK all round.
