Yup, I'm in agreement with the engine advice as a budget-saving tool. Down the road, once you've gotten plenty of seat time, if you get the itch for more power, then R&R-ing an engine isn't the most difficult item to change on your ERA.

The only other piece of advice I'd offer is PLEASE don't paint it beige. Cobras shouldn't be painted beige.
