I had a share in a syndicate Pup (100 hp) for several years and found it a complete delight to fly. It would have been near perfect if they hadn't gone for the silly 'car doors' and had given it a proper canopy.

Nobody has yet mentioned in this thread the feature which sealed it's handling qualities; it had a proper stick, not a steering wheel, and some even had a mod for a throttle on the left hand cockpit wall which enabled 'right hand on stick, left hand on throttle' which is how man was designed to fly.

If could be flown on a LAA permit, for some EuroReason it cannot - unlike the Bulldog or Chipmunk, then it would be my choice for a two seat semi aerobatic fun tourer.
