You're not self medicating are you DR?

I found the Victor 150 delightful to fly, albeit moderately powered. Easy to fly and even easier to land. From memory it was a little lighter than the R2160 Robin, and with 10 horses less was very similar in terms of performance.

There was a 180 with a CSU (I think) doing the rounds down in the 'Gong some years ago. I heard it went fairly well!

Some years later I jumped into an original 115. That didn't go so well, and although performing decent loops was like pulling wisdom teeth, it was still a delight to fly.

Although some of the design features were unusual (anyone remember the brakes?), a far nicer machine than the masses of imported American trainers.
