Its roughly between the two, but without the backseat room of a Cherokee. The LH seat moves up as you slide it forward - the rails are on a slight upslope. Not much headroom if you're tall in the body. Not quite as wide as a PA28, perhaps a couple of cm wider than a 150.
Ex. flight visibility, snappy precise controls, little elevator effect below about 50 on takeoff, will stall abruptly, and truly flat spin readily if you let it.
Not much prop clearance/small wheels=smooth airstrips only.
overall considered a good trainer. I liked flying it but the structure doesn't always inspire confidence.(Just have a look over the back and watch the tail moving in a spin!)
