Have flown Robins for the last two years. From the 108 - bit underpowered (but will still be in it this afternoon, two up), through to the 160, they are all good. As the others have said, great view out of the cockpit, with the low wing being , in my opinion, an advantage over the Cessnas. The tank is in the fuselage. Only downside, given my low hours experience is that they get affected by thermals and low level wind, possibly because they are made of wood and are so light. Neverlethess, I really enjoy having a stick and manual flaps.
