Norfolk - I've been flying my Pawnee for about 1 1/2 months. I would not recommend as a second plane, maybe as a third plane. I have not noticed any bad habits, but I'm sure it has a couple that I have not been bit with yet. It flies like a big low wing Cub. It likes rudder on take-off and in the turns. I like my .61 2S on the front end, and some folks have gone even bigger. Mine does not do crisp aerobatics, but flies very realistically with beautiful hammerheads. After some experience flying larger planes and really learning how to use rudder, it is a great flier.
