I also like the Rotax engines, but their throttle response is insane!! I'm OK with the Rotax as long as a friction lock is included to physically slow down the throttle input. As far as sport planes themselves.... has anyone flown in one much less given instruction to primary students in them? Good lord!! No bueno!! I'll take a Cessna or Piper any day--these are MUCH more forgiving airplanes.

With all that said I'm surprised the regionals haven't bought a few Cessna 150s with the auto fuel STC. They could use them to help pilots finish off their hours, and probably even double them up by doing safety pilot flying. Pay a flight school to supervise the program.
