I flew a lovely little aeroplane once, called an OMF Symphony. I don't know what happened to them as you hardly see any around, but it was a great 2 seater. Would be an ideal training aeroplane. Comfortable 25G bucket seats, good boot space, all digital engine monitoring and had a stick! Wasn't too shabby on speed either if I recall correctly. Did some long XC flights out into Nevada in it - That was great, flying over the high desert at night peering up at the stars through the roof windows.....
