Ja.It takes a REAL pilot to fly a Kudu.
Jokes aside.I found it a real pleasure to fly.Not forgiving in the sense that if you are not ahead ALL the time it will bite you.
Also built like a tank.I had the unfortunate to have a prang in one as I had an engine failure after take-off.But if I had not been in a Kudu,then definitely would not be here today.
For the person just starting out on tal-draggers--leave it alone.
But for my 10 cents worth,a Kudu is the same as the Huey.People will pay to fly in one.
As far as paying pax and the LS1 category---Well.
If you get one and need a pilot- call me.
