One thing that blew my mind was the stall characteristics. Low power stall, the aircraft started trembling about 5mph above the speed where it just mushed down. No wing drop, just a design which wants to fly.
The full power stall was something else. As we climbed he pointed out the dropping indicated air speed, then as it approached 0, he pointed to the altimeter. It was still going up! I have seen stunt planes doing that but never expected to experience it myself.
Totally cool. At 6'2", I found things a bit cramped. I was happy to live with it.
