Robert in the cockpit

I found the An-2 easy to fly, and responsive to yoke inputs. You really don't need to use the rudder pedals at all in level flight, and aileron turns are easy. I found myself using a bit of backpressure on the yoke, causing me to climb a bit, probably because the sightline over the cowling. Coming over a range of hills, it rode the thermals easily and I could point it right into the field for final, before giving it back to the pilot.
