S6
RX
The S6 is happy on a short strip.
My preference would be tailwheel, but the local S6 is tricycle. It lives on a < 300 yards strip, no problem at all.
The toe brakes are cable operated, but I believe later models have hydraulic anchors which are much better.
Cruise is 100 mph + on a Rotax 912 (80 horse). The S6-116 has decent rate of roll and is OK in crosswinds. A bit more flap would be useful, they're 3 position, but fairly small in area.
Cabin ventilation is not optional ! Winter flying can be a bit chilly for some parts.
