Simpler, improved landing gear which reduces bouncing to almost zero on landing. You can slam this one in and the prop shouldn't strike out making this ideal for rough terrain landings. You can perform all of the bush pilot tricks in this version such as one wheel touch and gos. Takeoff speed is around 23mph and landing can be as slow as 20mph. Top speed is about 70mph and anything over 30mph should give you a steady climb - max climb attitude is about 30 degrees nose up. For 3 point landings bring flaps down and trim nose up or for 2 wheeled landings flaps down with nose down trim to keep her up on the front two wheels when you've landed.
