W.R.T. Austers - excellent aeroplane with a definite requirement to fly it well,
If you enjoyed the Auster (personally not one of my favourites) then you should also enjoy the Tiger Moth for the same reason. Then go and fly some other dH machines, most of which - including the dH60 - are much nicer to fly, probably because of the way the 82 was designed, mainly modified so the instructor could get out the front with a 'chute than redesigned for aerodynamic reasons.
