Puch it is. Its one of my clubs fleet ( Cambridge ) We use it for primary training all the way through to mild aeros. It's a great machine to learn how to spin and recover in as the ASK 21's we also have are a soft ( Funny but my turbine powered model is just the same)
I grabbed the opportunity to see the Beautiful UK countryside in its winter coat, and do some spins and recoveries. I need to get up to speed as the new toy is arriving just after Christmas!
