Hi all,

I've been looking for a decent S1S for a while now, and due to a twist of fate I am now contemplating a S2E because the price is quite affordable. Both S1S and S2E have 180hp engines...

Now, I don't really need the 2 seats -it would be nice for taking someone up once in a blue moon- but I was wondering how much more "sluggish" the S2E would be with 180hp. The plane itself is a bit heavier because it has 2 seats, but if I fly it by myself, would the performance be noticeably different?

Thank you,
