Really? I'm pretty big and I find it very spacious - it's expensive though.
Citabrias less so and you can get a nice 150 HP one which will scoot along at a reasonable speed and get an STC to run on MOGAS. Thing is, CofA aircraft make little sense for someone doing personal only flying. I'm much more interested in Permit aircraft (because of the lack of need for a form 1)

On a permit the RVs are common but rarely for sale and very good aircraft provided they have been well built. Recently given the right to get a permit is the bulldog, 180Hp engine, full aeros, actual ergonomics and a tough bird for less than £30k and will be cheap to maintain once on a permit, I'd buy one of those if I was looking for such a thing. I want an RV eventually though, particularly the 8 but I just don't have the money - yet .
