I remember more room in the cockpit than my Emeraude or D11 Jodel. Reasonable handling, needs more fuel for a decent range.

The brakes can be a little fiddly to set up and to stop snatching. The undercarriage legs can have problems with both the internal guides and the walls of the legs themselves - fixing these can be a little pricy.

Finally it is wood - do not buy into one that is not and has not been hanagared since the last recover. Whilst Condors do not suffer from the glue failure of the French machines, they can still rot and distort - often leading to bit manual trim tabs and the like being added!

Otherwise a much easier tail dragger to fly than most.

Enjoy it.
