The only reason I don't like the "damn Cessna" look is strictly due to the tank position. With an upright engine generally the tank is mounted too low. But with electrics, it no longer matters. A Stik with the side mounted engine fixes that problem, but too many ginners tend to land nose down on the spinner and one wingtip. That's a bit rough on mufflers, especially over hard surfaces.
