Good Afternoon SunCoreIndustries Rep,
I recently ordered your Lincoln Town Car Air Suspension Overhaul Kit including air pump and shocks and it installed well. My car now has 145,000 miles and rides like new. I am recommending your products to all my friends that have air suspension cars.
Thank You!
Sincerely,
Jim

First off, not all Zodiacs are the same. This Zodiac appears to be from the design era that crashed a lot. The FAA will let it fly, but has issued an advisory, in Europe, that plan is grounded. They don’t talk about it, but the whole wing spar is likely going to have to be retro-fitted. Also, it’s got a Jabiru engine. They are frankly nightmares. I’m not even sure you can get a overhaul kit without using one of their certified A&Ps. They have horrid reliability. So yeah, the Zodiac is cheap, it will cost you about what it costs to build, but I would avoid it. A CH 650 has all the redesign done, it’s lighter, and has more engine options available. I don’t know much about the Sonex, so I won’t pretend to know anything about the airframe’s quality and reliability, however, I know Jabiru power plants. They suck, see above for my reasons. I would probably say that you don’t have to spend 100k new, but remember the reason to go LSA is so that you can do the repair work yourself. Only the initial owner of any ELSA (homebuilt) aircraft can get a special repairmans certificate. Otherwise, you are going to have to pay an A&P to do all your work. That’s fine, though, but you lose a lot of the savings of going the LSA route and frankly the hassles aren’t worth it if you don’t have the significant cost savings from doing your own repairs, inspections and overhauls. As I look through the listings at barnstormers, I tend to find most LSAs that have a good power plant and are good builds to be in the $60-80k range. The $100k is more for a factory built SLSA. I’m not going to say don’t buy, but make sure you have a trusted A&P go over it with a fine tooth combs. If it’s a kit built, make sure you have checked the kit makers website for any updates, then make sure those updates have been installed. Composites are going to be a harder problem for inspection. What most people don’t know about composites is that while the surface looks fine, there can be damage on the inside. The only way to check that is through ultrasound. I would pay the money to have someone ultrasound all the leading edges on any composite airplanes you are interested in. The last thing that I would recommend when you are going to buy an ELSA aircraft is to do the inspection at their airport at their FBO. Take a look at their hangar, is it clean and organized or is it cluttered and scattered? Also talk to the other pilots and managers at their FBO, as if they trust their build quality. It’s not going to be so much what they say, but what they don’t. If they trust their work or like the work, they are going to express it, if they don’t well they aren’t going to say much very enthusiastically. There’s my $.02. Take it for what it’s worth to you. I have been in the garages and hangers of a lot of homebuilders. There are people who I will go and check out their plane, I’ll help pull it out of their hangar and help them ground test the engine, but I wouldn’t be caught dead flying in their plane. They are usually more casual about how they refer to plans. If they find an extra rivet on the work bench and they counted them out before hand, they assume they miss counted. Me I look at every hole I drilled and count the rivets I put it. It’s just about build quality.
