Oh, and a 78 is a t-tail, right? That's a whole other issue. Some
people hate 'em, and say they're impossible to fly. Others say it's
just piloting technique, and ham-fisted pilots not trimming right on
take-off. Point is, get the take-off wrong, and you'll apparently be
amazed how much runway you'll use up, although, again, others disagree.
Either way, there's enough fuss and doubt that the t-tails are much
cheaper than the non-t-tails, which is either a bargain, or a
reflection of their handling, depending on your point of view. You
will, of course, suffer when and if you come to sell it.
