ZLIN 242 versus R2160a ab initio and basic aerobatic trainer
Anybody out there that has experience on either the ZLIN 242 and/or the R2160a now manufactured in New Zealand by Alpha Aviation?. We need a type certified aircraft to do ab initio as well as basic aerobatic training at 500 ft amsl. The ZLIN is about $40 000 more expensive and with 200hp vs 160hp(Alpha) therefore burns more fuel. We,d appreciate any feedback.
