Flying Qualities

Flyin Dutch

sensitive
can't see where you're going on the ground or short final
no directional control if you raise the tail before 40mph
will get airborne below stalling speed while in the ground effect (see the accident report here ) - before my time!!

But above all, it's a blast!

I had about 10 hours tailwheel when I bought it. p.s. whirly my 1800hrs Wessex didn't count! Got about 20hrs on her now, but down for maintenance at the moment
