the 0240's have developed a bit of a history of not responding to throttle after a lengthy glide approach. can't speak for the rotax.

they're a bit hot in sunnier climes, some training establishments are not yet ready to make the jump to full composite (ie no supporting maintennance facilities), and they're not really a short strip machine.

nice for forced landing practice with a 250fpm (or even a flat glide in an updraft!) glide descent though
