I just wish I could hear what the engines sound like on these.

That's old news now: Remember there are hundreds (maybe thousands?) of them flying. I've just finished installing the upgrades on mine (total price to install about $500). Have 450 trouble free hours TT on mine in last three years. Compared to the PiperSport, aka Sport Cruiser, my Zodiac costs less than half for what is essentially the same plane, except mine is not from Czekoslovakia. Thanks to FAA and NTSB this design is now also the most tested!

well see i would go with this, from flying both i find the cessna to be sluggish and even though that is roomier this has shorter take off distance and better fuel consumption

Simple freudian analysis. That the bigger something is, the better it is.

That would be a $20k "lawnmower" engine!

The plane is cute, but the "lawnmower" engine is a bit frightening.
