Iron Duck, you forgot about the 87A model Hornet Moth with its tip stalling in the landing flare, followed by a sharp wing drop resulting in an impresive cartwheel acros the airfield, DH did of course replace {free of charge it is said} with " square wings". to solve the problem, however this made the aileron controll marginal to say the least, also the chief test pilot, Hubert Broard was fired for not finding this fault in the test program. I happen to own a "Hornet", its handling is quite "entertaining" to say the least, but this is what makes it" interesting "to fly, lots of fun!
