I'm still low time, and although I've begun to log some Pitts time which is progressing well enough, I've been told mixed things about the 320/360 airframe's handling behavior. I'd really like to get a demo flight in one to get a feel for myself. If anyone near Indiana or one of the neighboring states would like to show of their plane, I'd be happy to pay for gas. Also, I do get down to Central Florida almost once a month, so I could possibly check one out down there as well. Finally, I'm 6'2" tall and about 220lbs. So far, I've fit in all of the 320/360's I've checked out (as long as they're not converted Lancair 235's), but it might be a concern depending on pilot/owner's size and weight...I don't know how comfortable two of myself would be together in one of these. Thanks, Ashe
