This is one aircraft that I have never warmed to. Perhaps it’s the insect like appearance that puts me off. Practical but just not aesthetically pleasing.
In the GDR we had 81 at the time. They were mainly used to tow gliders. She can tow 3 gliders at the same time. Sure, she's no beauty, but her STOL qualities speak for her. In the next few days I have to fly the float version. By the way, you can paddle them manually to the jetty.
