That said, it's one of my favorite aerobatic aircraft. I have to wonder why more online aerobatics squadrons don't use it.
This is a good point. The Ki-43-II is more difficult to handle but the Ki-43-I is very easy to whip into some amazing aerobatics and I am curious why I don't see it used more often. The thing it lacks is power... which might explain it.

You can get into trouble very fast if you're being too fancy
