Yes, if you flew N6810D, it is still operating in FL, as a banner tow aircraft. I got my tail wheel check ride in the aircraft. I too remember that it was a good flying aircraft, it felt very stable, but it did what you wanted it to.
I had the pleasure of towing banners on the Jersey Shore in the early 70's with a 180 hp version of a Rawdon T1. There were only a handful produced and very few flying at that time. It was a fantastic performer and my boss had a hopper in the rear seat and filled it with oil for skywritting. The fuselage skin could be removed with zuess(sp?) fasteners. It had ball bearing controls that were very smooth and reponsive. It is a very nice machine and I think the one I flew still operates in South Florida.
