That sounds like an updated Standard Libelle H.201B to me. Easy to fly,
good all-round vis and light to rig. I'm certain the airframe could be
brought up to modern standards without any weight increase and only
minor design changes would be needed to match contemporary expectations:

- revised brakes for those who don't like slipped approaches
- hinged canopy
- self-connecting ailerons to make the controls fully self-connecting.


And, of course:

- Larger cockpit allowing most pilots to actually move their extremities
once inside.
