My big concern with a Cherokee or Comanche is the AD for the wing spar. A friend of mine who is an AP and pilot has tried to talk me into a C172/182 to avoid that wing spar. From what I can tell more or less, the AD mainly affected retractable gear airframes. Is that correct?
@Huckster79 well crud…..found a decently equipped (avionics) F turbo at the right price…..that’s a good sign that they can be had for that….turbo would be nice too for that high altitude take-off roll…..
This is great information and definitely makes a Mooney jump up on my list of looksies…I know there is a trade off everywhere with HP and fuel efficiency and speed/time. This sounds like a GREAT compromise to all of it. Thanks!
Complex isn’t a necessity but not off the table either. I realize that it will push the cost up. I’m not saying $100k is a hard line but I’m not trying to go $150k or more either
It has been a long time since I’ve been in the left seat due to many reasons but I’m making a comeback. I am busting rust and going to put some time in with a buddy and his 172 but I’m looking for something of my own to buy within the next year. I am looking for something to build time towards...
No discussed this once before when I sold my headset and stuff. With the meds I have to take the hoops I have to jump thru aren't worth the little bit of flying I used to do.

I have an ASA VFR knee board and Jeppesen PJ-1 Rotating azimuth plotter sitting here. I can't fly anymore because I can't pass a medical so I don't need these anymore. I'll box them up and ship them to you if you just pay for the shipping. First one to respond gets them.
