Thumbs up

I know G-AVXD very well having helped get it back in the air a couple of years back. It's fully aerobatic with inverted fuel and oil systems however if you haven't flown any aeros get some time in one of the Aerobats first. There are a couple of chaps at Tayside who can give you a good brief and there are some notes at the club that I prepared which summarise a lot of the bits and bobs.
The first thing you have to do is learn how to hand swing it yourself so you don't have to wait for anyone else to turn up. The flying is actually very easy although it doesn't taxy well in winds over about 15 kts. Downwind checks are great - brakes off and harness tight; there isn't anything else! Cracking little aircraft, feel free to email me if you want any specific details.
