Thanks Rusty - might do that!

As far as I'm aware, the cabin is exactly the same as the Warrior. But I'd been doing long cross-countries (200+ nm) in a Super Cub before that. As far as I was concerned, the space in the Arrow was pure luxury! I could not only keep my chart unfolded, but also have it on the seat next to me. My flight case could be reached without having to turn around. I had somewhere to keep a bottle of water. If I wanted to take me knee-board off during the flight, I could, without having to worry about whether I'd be able to retrieve it again later. Luxury!

(But there's nothing like a couple of decent-length flights in something like a Cub to get your cockpit organisation skills up to scratch. I'd imagine open-cockpit would be even more fun!)
