My over all feeling is it handles like a Tommie, but you need to watch the speed/drag curve, weight and T/O run (at least the trim is better!!!!) sound about right PPRUNERS?
Sounds OK to me. Fly the aeroplane and pay attention.
BTW I'm not a Kiwi, but I've done enough flying there, mainly at NZTG, to have picked up the local lingo - "Stearman 03, lifthand downwind for the seal" and of course "Kia ora, I'll have sex iggs, please bro."
