Newer is not necessarily better.

"encounter" with a very aerobatic NORDO Pitts in a very very unstandard
pattern.

I don't get into an older than 20 year plane!
And what are you telling me here?
Are you trying to do some loops and steep turns?
Any plane racing in your future?
Handling better - for what?
Newer is better - PERIOD.

Fly a Tiger and then come back and tell me it handles like a Cessna.
