Doi't let the last advice deter you. At least three here have gotten their waiver on their first jet being a Cermark version 16. 14# class is more than enough power and deadsticks like any other prop plane practically. I had a failure on takeoff right at the first turn and was able to complete the entire landing pattern back to the runway no problem.
If you have flown any of the faster prop planes like a Patriot comfortably you will have absolutely no problem. If you have been flying big slow warbirds then you may be better off with the Boomer. Go with your gut, if you like the 16 get it, It really is an easy airplane to fly and landings are fantastice with it.
