Shaggy - a brother in choice of aircraft!
I fly the DHC-1 as well - only 6 of them left in airworthy condition in DK
- but what fun they are! And yes - it IS very "non-civilised" and not something to tamper with unless you have some prior tailwheel experience - only the british could have made an engine turning in that direction
Where is your Chip based? I am a frequent visitor of UK airspace and will trade beer for some good stories!
SB1089, my advise would still be going with the tailwheel / aero stuff. This has something to do with basic A/C handling and is something you will actively want to keep current (whereas IFR is - alas - only a way of transportation and grows rusty fast if its not constantly honed). The basic handling stuff is something you practice on every flight! And besides - if you go commercial at some time - you will never again have the time to do it! Learn it now!
Keep safe!
