The Robin is a lot of fun, and a nice type in which to learn basic aerobatics. It will build up your biceps, though.... you'd need to be Arnold Schwarzenegger to overstress one.

The Cap 10 for £95/hr is even better! Much lighter to fly, and more precise. The difference in handling between the Cap and the Robin is a bit like the difference between the Robin and the PA28. And as taildraggers go, they're not too bad - very good view over the nose, flaps to help with the approach, and good control authority.

Take advantage of it while it's cheap! Just be careful not to pull the stick as hard as you will learn to in the Robin, unless you're nice and high and wearing a parachute!
