The Do 27 proved to be a "lucky find." Easy to operate, STOL (Short Take-Off and Landing), and if you trim the drooping left wing, a plane with character, without any unnecessary frills like an autopilot. Ha! Perfect for an after-work or early morning flight. The original was a true workhorse, developed shortly after the end of World War II.

Wow, welcome back.....great post.

Thanks, that’s funny—the little mishap in the first picture. The engine’s running… but the pilot isn’t there. I didn’t notice it until after it was uploaded… but that’s just part of our hobby…
