    IF Cronyism bothers you go back to the early AUF Days. It was WHO you KNEW. to live the good life. Life is very finite. We don't have the time to start a NEW RAAus . Copy places that work, like NZ. .Nev

    Nitrogen to all intents and purposes is INERT. It only combines at extremely high temps, which is fortunate as it is 78% of the earth's atmosphere. Nev

    Controls have good feel (Rods) Rudder could be bigger, Treat stalling with respect, It can Bite, Handbrake could be "different". Are you 3 pointing or wheeling it on? Solo it is different to 3 point than with 2 onboard. Stop swing early and positively Rudder works a lot better when power is on. Practice bounced well controlled go arounds. IF you're not happy go around. Get used to having a RUDDER. and USING it. Nev
