I agree with all the above having flown, both the later 160hp Cheetah and 180hp Tiger. But if I had hangar to keep it dry, I would rather have a Robin DR400/180 or 160, both of which I have owned. They both have more carrying capacity and are faster than the AA5's. More fun to fly but not a stable or as good a platform in bumpy weather or cloud. But great fun for just poling around the sky with a stick rather than control wheel. Especially good in a dogfight with any Cessna or Piper
