Default RE: A list of first pattern planes

I guess I was lacking some creativity, to say the least. Putting both back seats down, I've got 66" to between the front seats, so figured with the plane in straight I had this distance from the spinner to the backside of the stab. I could put the plane in nose first, fold the passenger seat forward, and try to gain some room that way. Its not like anyone ever comes flying with me anyway! Nor do I really want someone distracting me from my flying.

Talking with a guy today we were discussing using the gear and engine I have in a small pattern plane, and he kept saying that a big plane will fly so much nicer. It was pretty exciting to hear him talk about how I 'needed' something like a pattern plane, or even his high-end katana. Anyway point is I want the biggest plane I can fit. I'll keep doing my research.
