Former owner of G-AFIR, rebuilt by Arthur Ord Hume. I found that with the JAP 36HP engine the aircraft was a tad underpowered. I had the opportunity to fly the late Don Peacock's Minor which had a 55HP Lycoming, nice! In general, the ailerons are not too spritely, but the very sensitive rudder makes up for that. And as was noted above, getting in and out requires some flexibility! But once inside the cockpit I found to be roomy and comfortable. An enjoyable way to see the countryside, at least it was before the great airspace grab!
