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

ouch! ouch! heyyyy, don't make fun of the plane that taught me I didn't
need an instructor onboard.

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.

Think about it though - you could stick it on your roof as the perfect
weathervane and use the engine in your lawn mower.
