The visibility from the Cardinal is extraordinary.

and the huge cargo area and large cargo door. With our other
hobbies being photography and scuba diving, the Cardinal was our only
choice in this category and price range. We did consider the low
wing Grumman Tiger for similar attributes (great visibility, easy to
get in and out and to load cargo) but my husband did not like the nose
gear steering. So far, we are quite happy with our choice.
Yup...I forgot about the cargo area. Twelve years ago my wife and I flew our
Cardinal to Alaska. With the back seat removed we had enough room to sleep
in the airplane if we needed to. My wife and I also have recumbent
bicycles. With the back seat removed we have room for two recumbent
bicycles. BTW, do you belong to the Cardinal Club? If not, you should.
