I flew as my only plane in college an old Goldberg Skytiger with a worn K&B 40. This old plane was given to me by my instructor. He said it would let me build character, that and the option to learn to rebuild crashed airplanes whenever I got to placent.

I remember one funfly where they had a radar dedector. I got clocked at 35mph with a tailwind. Whenever I turned into the wind, I had to make sure I had plenty of altitude to go negative attitude on the nose so I wouldn't stall.

I had that plane for 10 years without a mishap. I made other pilots nervous watching it fly because it looked like it would fall out of the sky. But I got to where I could do loops and rolls, and even a good hammerhead if the mixture was right.
