Just bought a share in one (coming into it as a gliderpilot with PPL time, bit of tailwheel time thrown in for good measure). It's a lovely aeroplane, nicely balanced and a good performer. I can fly ours with someone my size (105kg), 50kgs of fuel (enough for about 3hrs plus small reserve), which makes it a fairly capable tourer. Ours burns 15l per hour of mogas, which gives me better economy than driving. I'm 6ft and don't find it fantastically comfortable - neither the seat nor pedals are adjustable so you'll either fit or you won't.

Happy to take you for a flight in ours to see, or there's one for sale at Bicester at the minute (GVKIT).
