I love the super decathalons, great planes, and they just feel strong when you throw them around, very confidence inspiring. I did some spins in a Tigermoth shortly after gaining a GFPT ( not sure what that is in the US) I'd heard a lot about the graveyard turn onto final and thought I better find out what what it was all about, about a year later I had the misfortune to fly into a willy willy on final and nearly got stuffed into the ground, short version, at 500agl got flipped nearly inverted, plane started to yaw and roll and I was able to recover ,I reckon I dragged it over the fence at dot feet . The scary thing is I know plenty of mates who are fine pilots but would be dead now if they'd been in that situation ,an aero endorsement is one of the best things I've done I reckon,
