While the Eagle is pleasant to fly, I had several criticisms:
Because the pilot lays back at an angle in the cockpit (like a deck-chair) I found it difficult to twist around and look over my shoulder for other aircraft. The bubble canopy made for a real sweat box in the sun.
Secondly I thought the brake/rudder system was lousy, with almost no "feel" in the braking system. Much of the time taxying seems to be spent dragging the brakes inadvertently. Cross-wind landings needed watching as crossed controls meant that brake was applied at touch-down whether you meant to or not.
Also in the climb and in level flight, the nose angle is rather high exacerbated by the high position of the instrument panel. This restricts the view over the nose and I had to keep on tipping my head back to see where I was going and who was in front.
The upright seating view in the Cessna is adequate (apart from the high wing problem)and the brake use is conventional. For all these reasons I tended therefore to encourage students to learn to fly on the Cessna rather than the Eagle 150.
