dr 400 160
Hey all,
Finally got round to doing it and my god is it brilliant!
What people said was true....
It is faster (probably feels quicker than it actually is) and the nose down attitude compared to c152 is strange but I got used to it.
Much better response from controls (amazed me the difference) much easier to fly.
The flap lever kept getting caught on the change and my keys in my pocket as its like a handbrake! But they were very effective. Brakes on the hand i thought would be odd but its easy really when you get used to it. So much easier to trim, more feel to every control.
The differential braking could catch people out if they are a bit heavy with the control... Maybe thats what causes people to veer off? Landings were smooth and easy... Man i love it! A new lease and love has developed for flying again.... Shame my wallet hasnt grown any!
Thanks for all the advice guys and girls, appreciate it
Fly safe
