All I've heard so far is that you've been known to putter around

That might be me as well. For people who don't mind bird strikes from behind,
the Champ can be a lot of fun. Rather be in a Grumman Tiger though..

I've got a couple hrs. in both. The Tiger is just "OK," but the Champ
is the doggiest piece of **** I've ever flown and if someone gave me
either one I'd immediately slap a "For Sale" sign on it and buy a 80
or 100-hp trike.

The next best thing to an F-16 and the most fun you can have with
your clothes on!
