the tightest fields, taking off in less than 150 feet. It climbs
out at a respectable 800 feet per minute and cruises all day long
at 80 m.p.h.. Stall with flaps extended is just above 30 m.p.h..
Control pressure is very light, pilot comfort rates an A,
visibility from the front seat is good while the rear seat is
great for filming out with the doors open. Large doors provide
easy entrance, and it has a nice baggage area.
