I bought into the same share as G some months ago and the Cheetah is a pleasure to fly.
Good visibility and I find a lot lot quieter than 152/172's at cruise.
Never tried flying with top open but its nice to open it while taxiing on the ground.
I will share the same comment as G that the 4th seat is best kept empty.
4 up and for a low hours PPL it took some getting used to.. a bit unnerving climbing on the stall warner ...
Step in canopy real nice , took my 70+ year old mother for a flight recently and she found it really easy to get in/out.
