It is generally a nice plane but somehow the didn't get the dimensions of the fuselage right. The engine compartment isn't high enough and the windows are also odd. I own a -140 for three years and really know it from every perspective. Also the performance isn't right. Way to good in climb and a little too fast in cruise. By the way: On take-off you NEVER let her run up to 95kts before lift-off. At 55 put gentle back pressure on the wheel and wait for the plane to lift. It will happen at around 60-65kts depending on weight. Higher taxi speeds can create control problems and oscillations which might damage the airframe.
As a long time PA28-pilot with experience on any models except the -235 I would like to emphasize that flight characteristics and performance on this model are exceptionally realistic. By far the best single engine airplane I ever bought for X-Plane!
