About the Tommahawk, Read up on the stall characteristics of this plane. I too considered buying one but had read some horror stories about the test plane used for certification having a few more wing ribs than the production model. Could that really be true? Anyway the under surface of the wing tended to "oil can" during a stall changing the airfoil shape and making stall/spin recovery difficult. Again just rumor. The Lycoming O235 is considered a good engine with a high TBO. I settled on a C150G with the no longer produced Cont. O200.
Good luck!
