Per B2N2's post - if you do ever stall one it makes entertaining viewing if you look back at the tailplane

I concur with most of the other comments here - nice enough to fly, more room than the 150/152 but they wag their tails, the stalls can be vicious and in my view they could catch out the unwary (as they have on a number of sad occasions).

As I recall the main spar is lifed to around what Hyph said, but this could be extended by 1000hours or thereabouts with a mod.

FP.
