Mind you, I would imagine operating a V100 or 115 in Oz ...

Especially if you have had a break from them. I learned to fly in the 100 during the mid 60s then spent my uni years playing with Callair, Pawnee, and SuperCub towing .. after moving to Melbourne, I learned my basic aeros with DJPil (under the benevolent tutelage of Aub Coote) on his 100 .. the first circuit and miss reminded me about HP and grunt, or the lack thereof.

A great little fun machine, providing you watch the speed and height on short final .. as I recall, a VERY senior instructor at RACNSW dropped one in to expensive effect when I was doing my initial training.
