Flew a few hours in them shortly after getting my PPL (in C152) in the 1980s. They were fairly new then and I thought they looked fabulous. Despite the streamlined shape the performance was not quite as good as the C152 probably due to a bit extra weight. As Sir George says I did not find it as easy to land as the Cessna. I thought the flaps were pretty ineffective. There were also some issues with the rudder aileron connection which may now have been done away with.
The club now has the 'D' model which seems to be universally liked however I have not flown one of these.
DO.
