Surprisingly enough, none - although I'll admit to several in different types with the same engines

You sat there looking at an engine in front of you and 2 feet above your head and expected a pitch up with increasing power?

Possibly I find the experience relatively comfortable since I got to solo in a different fuse-tube construction aeroplane - the good old Spectrum, 5 of which I think are still flying!
