Skylark 3b?
Not too bad to fly...quite pleasant...have the ailerons had the 'F' mod carried out ?
Originally the 3b had plain ailerons without tabs but some were modified to have balance tabs (sometimes erroneously called servo tabs !) A La 3f !
I flew an original 3b without tabs back in the early 80's and let us say that they were perhaps not the most effective ailerons in the world LOL.
But as others have said - if the price is right - they do climb well and have excellent airbrakes,I did my first 5 hours in a 3b and seem to remember her having quite a comfy cockpit
