I talked 2 week ago with the Breguet XIV replica test pilot (who's in certification process for meeting purpose).

He said that flying this plane, requires constant attention because of rear centering (and they added lead weight in the nose in order to reduce this rear centering). The plane is difficult to fly, because you must fly it every second.
What he said also:
- you must turn with induced roll (with rudder)
- action on ailerons requires wrestling arm muscles....

That rejoining the same comments I've heard by other pilots flying other plane replica (those Takata shown picture of, from the Memorial flight and operated at AJBS)
