I flew one quite often after training. Nice, but not great. I also flew 2 of them across the USA/Canada and into Oshkosh in july/august 1989. Ended up rather dehydrated!!!
Some problems that could be addressed by good maintenance and some mods. Met 2 of them with loose rivets about the tailplane. Bleeding brakes was a nightmare. Might have been nicer with larger wheels? Dealt with the aftermath of 2 engine failures on the Hewland. (1 scrapped airframe). Mixing 2-stroke was messy.
Fantastic visibility, Nice handling, great potential with a decent engine (no offence intended, Mr Designer)

Now a PFA type.

(Oh yeah, and the nosewheel tyre rotated backwards in flight)
