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.

I forgot that, probably because the cockpit suits me well, though I must
admit I feel I'm putting it on rather than climbing in.
