Cool

The difference between a Robin (jodel) aircraft and a Cessna is about se same as between a Volkswagen and an Alfa romeo.
transtion is about 3 hours . Wheels are for kids. ( but in practice no diffrence with a stick you' ll see )Main difference is you have to fly some Jodel types with your right hand ( left on the throttle ) the opposite of the cessnas... and watch the color codes ; yellow is carb reheat in France ! not mixure.
Ah and nearly all our Jodels/Robin are metric ! welcome to the Continent.
Vive la difference culturelle,
