Hi All,

I've scoured the web and magazines looking for a kitplane (that's
available in the U.S.) that has the flying characteristics, AND
cockpit visibility equal to or better than the Diamond DA-20 C1. For
those of you that may not know, the C1 is equipped with a fuel
injected 125 hp conti. The characteristics are low fuel burn, 135kt
cruise, gentle mush/stall at 37 kts with flaps, and VERY fun to fly.

Anyone?

Simon,

Naw, flown both the Europa & the DA-20. The DA-20 is clearly better
visibility wise. In the other hand, all planes of the "egg on a stick"
design have similar performance characteristics, that is speed for HP
and that signature low drag coefficient.
