The one I flew didn't have the later rudder capability. Never flew the Alon.

I did. It had rudder pedals, but there was little rudder response.
The airplane was uncomfortable and noisy, but it flew easily, and
outperformed our 150s on ten less HP. Took off shorter, climbed half
again as well, and cruised faster. Much sleeker than the 150, but had
no baggage space to speak of.
