Not flown it (yet), but looking for a project. I'm told the 120 also has a "complex" C of G arrangement, and is a pig to start up again within half an hour of shutting down, without opening the engine cowlings. Also, the throttle can get stiff after a while. Maybe someone else who operates them in the real world can put me straight?

For the project I'm looking at, the above concerns won't figure anyway, but they're still good to know about. And why would you deliberately choose an underpowered machine? Surely these days there's no excuse for that?
