Been there....  I did lots of dual time is CT4's at Wigram, but as the time 
was not officially assigned for pilot training I couldn't  log it :(

Yeah, they are funny about stuff like that.  I have a friend who had his 
licence pulled when his ex-wife rang CAA and "claimed" that he had suffered 
a heart attack.  Now, years later, he is still trying to prove that he didn't!

I will admit that the CT4/a was cooler for aero's with a conventional stick 
setup (complete with B8 grip <g>), but once you got used to the Airtourer 
"tiller" it wasn't bad.  You get used to doing aileron rolls with the stick 
"away" from you... much easier than pulling it across towards you :)
But in hot weather I'd tae the tourer over the trainer *any* day.  At least 
you could slide the canopy open while taxiing! The trainer, with it's  rear 
hinged canopy, had to be shut down prior to opening the lid... not good on 
a hot Canterbury summers day <lol>

Ahhh memories!

Sean.
