It's value as a trainer is a result of its tempermental nature and I can assure you, if you can fly this trainer, you can fly anything.

I'm not going to go into the wing rib thing, been there, done that, bought the T shirt. Suffice to say that to my knowledge it's the only airplane out there that's been through certification twice, and passed 'em both.

Yes, the spin is a real ride! Don't look back, it'll scare the h*ll out of you.

Iv'e seen it the tail wobbles a little LOL yea that got me at first too.. But i truly love that plane.
