Aidan,
Very limited experience with the aircraft (M20J) on my part. A delight to fly, handled beautifully ... but impossible to land. Purely personal. As Loop...Hole said earlier it's built for Texans. At 174cm, the seating position is like sitting in a bath-tub and during the flare all reference to the runway was lost. Not ideal really. Did Mooney really build an aircraft that fit's only one size? Like I said, loved flying the aircraft, hated the latter stages of the approach. Good luck with the decision making.
