Hey now,
Last spring I bought a used hobie hawk (orig) from the guy who
taught me u/c back in the sixties. nothing realy wrong with it, some
cracked paint on the fuse, but the thing is in plenty good shape, although
the covering is a bit brittle. The guy wanted $125 for it, I offered $100

Hi,
Eh, I don't think the P-61 Black Widow was the most manouvrable
of its era, one way or other.
From a test report:
"The harmony of control was poor, the elevator being extremely
heavy, and the rudder fairly heavy. The lateral control on the
spoiler system was very effective and
I have used two-channel gyros on Zagi THLs :-)!
But, they do little in helping pitch stability,
when using extremely rearward CG, to my surprise,
but are excellent in increasing lateral stability
in turbulence.
