Pre-takeoff checklist
Im looking to get another plane. I used to own a 260 Comanche and I loved it. It fit the mission perfectly however being an airplane no longer being produced had its issued with maintenance cost and eventually I was not flying enough to justify keeping it. Now I'm ready for another go at it but with something less of a money pit. (I know all planes are money pits.)
Mission
Cross country cruiser
400nm range with 600lbs payload (3 people + baggage)
110kts or better at 65% power
Low wing preferred
I was looking into Cherokee 235, beach sierra c24r, 70's archer
maybe Tiger or Pacer (3 people no bags and not full fuel)
Really leaning towards the 235 but if i could do the same thing with a archer and use less fuel I would. Any Ideas or suggestions?
