I have a few questions about those nice looking little biplanes. The Rose Parrakeet.

A couple questions about the Rose Parrakeet.
1. How tall is the seat off the floor of the cockpit?

2. I have heard they are terrible flying airplanes. Is that true?

3. Have any of you flown multiple Rose Parrakeets? Did they fly alike or different?

4. How big of person can fit in one?

5. How heavy of a pilot can work for weight and balance safely?

I talked to a fellow who flew in a 4 aileron C-85 Parrakeet at Blakesburg 2023. He said a pilot 5 foot 10 inches and weighted
225 would be ok in the Parrakeet he was flying.
Thanks.
PS photo for attention... thanks to Ben Preston for sharing this photo on facebook from years ago.
