Jodel D9 and Druine Turbulent

Paul Madden 28/03/2009, 1:36 PM
Hello,

I'm in the US where at least 2 Druine Turbulents and 1 Jodel D9 are presently for sale - both at very reasonable prices. It's probably as much aircraft as I want especially in these economic times. I've read Pilot magazine flight reviews of both aircraft as well as reviews by others including Derek Piggot in the case of the D9. I would like to have read a review comparing both aircraft with respect to handling chatacteristics, ease of take-off and landing, and safety. I don't presently have taildragger experience so can't test fly them myself. I would like to hear comments relative to the above from pilots with experience of both aircraft. Hope you can help.

Hi Paul,

Contact me at mshave@wightman.ca if you still need info on the turbulent. I have one with over 500 hrs since 1997.
