A fun aeroplane with much the same performance as a Bulldog. It probably rolls a bit faster than a 'dog but it glides like a house-brick. Spin characteristics are pretty much classic. It goes in and stays in until you get the recovery actions correct, but it doesn't go high-rotational unless you are really gross. It's cleared for inverted spinning if you're into that sort of thing, but not flick manoeuvres. The less endearing features are: the elevator overbalances in the spin so, if you let go, the stick stays fully back
- there's quite a breakout force to get it moving; the parking brake is cr*p - if you think a 152's parking brake is unreliable, try this one; if it's left overnight without a cover and it rains then make sure you bail out before aeros or you'll get an unexpected shower; fuel load can be restrictive - if you want aeros then you can only carry about 35 litres a side if you're 2-up.
Overall, I'd rather fly a 242 than a T67 unless you can get hold of a grunty 260hp T67M.
