I loved my little Grumman Normy, but it was a ground lover with those short wings and 108 hp! In the air however, it felt like a sports car compared to most general aviation airplanes as the controls were very light and responsive.

I am glad I owned one early on, as it prepped me for flying touchier airplanes than the Cessna 150 I learned to fly in. I considered converting mine into a taildragger and installing a bigger Lycoming, but those who have done these type conversions often complain of the limited range due to the relatively small amount fuel they can carry.
