Ahem, sorry Aqua both the Husky and the Zenair are the same age, 1986. Ok the Husky is based on the Cub. But a Cub on steroids. It's a serious bush plane, the Zenair is a toy.

I know which one I prefer. Although the Maule has appeal too.

There would not be a wind sock, it would have blown off the stick;)

Zenith 701: All aluminum construction, 520lb usable load versus 810 for the Husky.  

Is the 4 seater 801 a toy too?  http://www.zenithair.com/video/CH801_256kbps.wmv
