Mooney Crash?
When the fan stops at 500 ft AGL, I'd rather be looking for a small, cleared, bit of terra firma in a common garden variety Cessna 172, than in a higher wing loaded retractable.
Read of a US veteran pilot who had clocked up 44,000 flight hours in Cubs doing pipeline patrols. He rather liked their STOL characteristics too. Often wonder whether he'd had the seat modified for additional comfort though.
happy days,

When one flew a Mooney it had a peculiar gimrack arrangement for getting the wheels up and down.
A bloody great lever on the floor.
I doubt you would be able to wrestle with it and contend with an engine failure at 500'
Agreed on the Cub seat RV6 ,designed for squatting on for no longer than a half hour

Engine failure at 500 agl??. you wanna try one at 50 feet and in the low end of the ASI (never even scratched it. thats two now). 500ft is flight levels. If you cant get your firm brown collected at that height, you never will.
