Me! After 35 years of flying I still enjoy flying 2- and 3-channel.

Nothing wrong with 3-channel, and many who say stay with 4-channel probably have never flown 3-channel before anyway. I'd grab it and fly it until its so fuel soaked it can't be flown any more. The Sr. is one of those planes that are great to take out in the evening for a slow, lazy floating end of the day flight or to just shoot touch-n-go's.

Hogflyer:

I am one that have not flown 2 or 3 channels, and don't know how.
I believe I could do it, but not too far from level flight in circles or flat number 8's.
I could not do rools, snaps, or more complicated maneuvers.

It would be interesting to start a thread teaching 4-channel pilots how to do typical maneuvers with just 2 or 3 channels; if for not other reason, just to learn how it was done time before the 4-channel radios were available and affordable.

Regards!
