Would just advise being careful with the engine. Depending on what the individual aircraft has been fitted with, the VW we had was a real ice-maker.

You learned to be manic with carb heat, even on the ground on a hot day. I'd be nervous of shutting off power without paying due care.

Oh, and if I remember correctly, we had a big notice on the panel reminding us that 'THIS IS NOT AN AEROBATIC AIRCRAFT', though she certainly felt like one

PS I'd agree with Them thar Hills. The closest 2 seater type I found with Turb handling is the Jodel
