A and C,
We could get into a mine is better than yours contest but we each bought what we wanted. And I bet my true airways fit equals yours (not to mention I have an IR to actually use it!)....... And with my long range tank fitted I have an 11hr range and my service ceilings is a lot higher, yours is 14k as I recall..... nah nah nah!!!
The robins are indeed suberb aircraft, lots of performance from minimal horse power and that cranked wing is amazing but wood and fabric are what deterred me from buying one and the fact that I wanted short field performance that even yours is not capable of.
