Short coupled tailwheel airplane landing in a left quartering tailwind with
a serious design flaw in the landing gear. The pilot of the chase plane said
that the Lionheart's pilot was having enormous difficulty controlling the
airplane throughout the flight, with violent pitch excursions.

I went to the Lionheart website to have a look. There was a section
that listed testimonials. Among those testimonials was one from none
other than Jim Campbell, he liked it...
