Other than that is a a great flying plane. Expect about 120 mph in
cruise. Landing is a piece of cake with the barndoor 40 degree manual
flaps, but beware of the nose heaviness mentioned in another post.
With 2 up, if your not carrying ballast in the baggage compartment,
you may have some difficulty keeping the nose off the ground when
landing with full flaps.

I never had a problem landing a '57 Cessna 172 with two in the front,
no backseat ballast, and full flaps. (About 400 lbs in the front, I
think). Just trimmed it properly.
