Widgeons look a bit like a cross between a Beech 18, a battleship, and a tank. I assume they do not handle like that?
My favorite is the lowly J-3. I have had mine for 55 years.
I have owned Stinsons and Mooneys - privileged to fly Stearmans, Wacos, Gullwings, Boeings, and Airbusi. Still like the Cub best.
We wanted to own one last airplane - choice: early 180, maybe 180hp taildragger 172, or possibly a Decathlon.
Found the Dec - half the price of a 180, ten times the aircraft of a converted 172, and an all around superior choice for me.
If I could afford a Widgeon, I would instead get a type rating in a PBY, and a checkout in a P-51 and an F-86E.
