You're not too far from Hayes, Kansas....take a ride over there and go for a flight. I test fly the S-21 with the 912. Nice plane and flies very similar to my RANS S7. I would have loved to fly it with the 340 Titan!!! In the end, most of these planes are very similar. The S-21 is metal if that is a consideration. No worries about leaving it outside in the weather for extended periods of time.
