Is the Citabria Decathlon persona non gratis? It's a capable a/c with 180 horses to drag it round the sky. It also has a clipped wing the role, whilst still not very good, isn't that bad.

I used to own a T67B with 115 hp trying their best. No penetration without power so anything inverted soon became brick like. The big wing meant rolling was a leisurely affair with time to have a quick sarny on the way round.

Oh, and its spin could easily kill you. Apart from that a great little a/c.

I also used to fly a C150 Aerobat and loved it; until I flew an FRA150L
It had more donkeys and 182 wing struts. Loved it. A really good entry level mount that was pretty much vicless but demanded accuracy to be flown well.
