I'll find this out firsthand next week: I've got 5 hours scheduled in a
Zodiac at Dragonfly Aviation at STS.

I do agree that it would have been nice if they'd set the weight limit to
include the 150/152 and such; I'd have already bought my roommate's dad's
150 if it had.

I'll be curious to hear what you think of it. I haven't flown
anything other than a Flight Design CT so far.
