Liberty XL2 anyone?

The jury may still be out, but I bet this is counterintuitive.

Perhaps someone from the NTSB should be asked, but I think that if you
puncture a cabin stored fuel tank, you are already dead. On the other hand,
you can bend a wing in a Piper or Cessna, and end up burning.

Especially a high wing plane that brings the fuel through the A pillar. The
A pillar should be saving your life, not covering you in fuel.

This may be irrational and unfounded but I didn't much care for the fact
that the pilot is literally sitting on the gas tank. A post crash fire is
bad enough, but to have one start directly on your butt/back seems all the
less survivable.

Just my $.02

When I first heard about this plane I thought it would be cool idea -- a
new, two-person touring plane that will cost about $150K with good
avionics. But the more I learn about it, strictly from reading magazine
articles, the more I wonder. For example:

5. nonadjustable seats. I know the rudder pedals are adjustable, but
that doesn't help short or tall pilots with headroom or visbility. and
not everyone likes the same seatback angle.
