Yes, if you get your jollies by driving a flying dump truck, you'll love it. It's noisey, shakey, feels heavy and plods slowly along with little response to the controls - just like the dump truck.

It's a great machine perfectly suited to its task.
As you said, it's does what it was designed to do, not as a hot rod or to handle like an Extra 330. Max Ward, (remember that guy) had said that, if it wasn't for the Beaver and Otter (which he thought was better for hauling stuff in the bush) Wardair wouldn't have gotten as it did.
