Anyone here familiar with the Willie2? Not well known, I know. Not too many built.
But looks like a nice airplane, and I want to go and look at one. Got the biplane bug, real bad. Have a Sonex, right now, but it's for sale and I have someone coming to see it. Just gotta get this biplane thing out of my system.
One of my principle worries is the front cockpit. Appears tight. I want my wife to be able to fly with me, and I'm hoping she can get in there. Not the she's huge! She's 5'3''.
I'm only 5'6'', but when I checked out a Celebrity at Airventure 2010, I could hardly get into the front 'pit. And once in, thought I was stuck for good! Hell of a time getting out. No room at all.
I'm hoping the Willie isn't like that. It's a nice looking airplane and a damn good price. But, if it's just too tight in the front, it may be a deal breaker.
Hatz seems like a terrific airplane, too. also considering that, although the Willie is fully airbatic, with inverted fuel and oil systems. Sounds like fun.
Anyone with Willie 2 experience out there?
