    Mr. 'hound;
    You sir, are in desprate need of a Hiperbipe!
    45" wide cabin, comfortable seating (leg room), 160mph cruise and (at acro weight) stressed to +6/-4.
    Mine is 1260 empty and has gross of 1950. Max acro # is 1680. It has 2 tanks; upright only 26 gallons/ inverted tank = 13 gallons. That's over an hour of inverted cruising...

    Stall is 65mph and Vne is 225mph. With 4 full span flaparons she rolls fast! Landing is somewhere between a Citabra and a Pitts 2 place...with the added benefit of the four full span flaps allowing a power-off decent rate of around 1500 fpm @ 80mph without slipping! She can operate out of a strip as short as 1500' at gross.

    As you can tell, I like mine a lot!
