Hi guys , bit of feedback ;
Got the aircraft last friday, flew nearly 4 hours with it this week end and also made 6 high altitude Glider tows with it.
Everything said here is correct, beautiful handling, easy to fly , forward visibility better than the PA18, wider landing gear , better suspension ( more firm) and tail wheel good performance on basic aerobatics, . But ....
Very thirsty engine and towing performance is not good. Ok you got 80 MPH which was good to tow the Fox with 2 in it . ( heavy aerobatic glider ) but despite a relatively cold weather , it took over 15 min to get to 1200m ( total tow with decent and cable release was always near 20 min per tow , and a consumption of around 60 l/ hour .
The variable pitch prop does not bring anything in towing. OK, maybe adds 10 MPH in cruise but not much more, so does not worth the extra complexity and extra maintenance costs. .
So I returned it yesterday evening and we all agreed in the club that we will look for something else. Difficult to beat the good old Robin Remo 180 with a tow prop., good to train and travel too, but no aerobatics of course.
Thanks everyone for the comments before . they did help !
