Any of us that went through FlightSafety in Vero Beach flew 'em for upset recovery training & CFI spin sign offs. I've got about 5 hours between the URT & CFI. It is a blast to fly! It has a very solid feel, is extrememly responsive, & has excellent visibility. I highly recommend it if you have the means...

However, I would by one of the later models, as the earlier models have less time allowed on their wing life. There is a proposed AD concerning this here:
NPRM ZLIN 242
The Zlins at FlightSafety have a system in the aircraft that measures the stresses on the a/c to monitor their use. I can get you more info if you are interested.

thanks

I think I'll hold off until the wing issue is taken care of. I appreciate your response as I hadn't done enough research yet to find out about the proposed AD on the wing.....and funny how the dealer didn't mention it.
