I learnt to fly on the Victa 100 (recognize the climb and recover with minimum loss of height) the 115 was a little better,the 150hp version with C/S prop was a rocket (compared to the 100).....the fuel dipstick,we would at least dip the tank 3 times to get an average reading....if in doubt top it up...they were a good training aircraft for windy Wellington,I remember once returning to WLG from a solo cross country flight and the wind was gusting up to 50kts.....no problem for the brick
