Monocock & HP,
All good advice. Maybe I should have made it clear that I'm really just after something for 'a bit of fun' (just not too tardy). I'm planning on keeping my share in the 172 for more 'serious' flying.
Somehow I suspect this is all a bit like buying a house; most people end up with something quite different to their original specs. What I first thought I wanted was a fast single-seater tricycle gear beast. I'm moving ever closer to a tailwheel, two-seater - but it has to be fast enough to be fun, without being chronically unstable in the air or on the ground
Who knows what I'll end up with
