Interesting... I didn't know that the P-38 had a full castering nosewheel...

That might have been what he meant about the Cheetah. Both Cheetas and
Tigers have a very sporty feel about them, not to mention that great
visibility.

Well, it doesn't have the roll rate of the S2B that I flew, but it's not
to bad compared to the other spam cans that are its competitors... It
will do a roll fairly nicely, albeit considerably slower than the S2B...
The AA1-series rolls a lot better since it has about 8 ft less
wingspan... I've flown them also, but never owned one... That full
bubble canopy does tend to get a bit warm on a bright summer day though...
