A T.U.F. VIEW
The Classic is a true "classic". The open cockpit bi-lane is a
real eye catcher especially when it takes off in less than 200 feet and
climbs or a 65 HP Rotax at 900 feet per minute. Cruise is an honest 80
m.p.h.. Stall speed 40.
Full span ailerons coupled with a semi-symmetrical
airfoil give it very good roll response, with light control pressure.
Ground handling is a little tough since the pilot flies solo from the rear
seat and visibility is limited.
Does a great little side slip, just watch
out for the lower wing in a cross wind!
