Asking for myself - Is it a pigsickle? Is it fun?
Most curious about handling qualities. For baseline, I consider a 182 an unresponsive, wallowing hog. I love the SF-260, but don't have the $300K . . .well, actually, I do, but my wife would not be amused.
So, doesn't have to be something super twitchy, just nothing that says Cessna, Piper, or Beech on the data plate. No bipes, either.
I want a stick, I want a canopy, I want two seats, maximum . . .I want a real airplane engine. Looked and looking at LongEZ, Emeraude. . .
Please, no blather about "mission". My "mission" is to fly, preferably a crisp handling airplane with astoundingly great visibility. And one that won't disintegrate in gentlemanly acrobatics - loop, aileron roll, split-s, spin.
