----wasn't impressed with them at all.
Chimbu,
None of us were, only aircraft I ever flew that weathercocked out of wind in a X-wind.

Undercarriage designed by Messrs. Heath Robinson and Co.

Big block of faired hardwood down the guts, and extended pads on flap hinges, like little wingtip floats --- wouldn't it have been better to just have a simple gear, instead of equipping the aircraft with "gear up gear"??. ---- but what would you expect from the poms ---- and DeHavilland never really made the transition to all metal aeroplanes, did they ??

Tootle pip!!
