Not really. Do you think it fits the economical requirement? I don't much about them but I thought any radial engine has high operating/maintenance costs.

Baggage needs are minimal but would be nice to have room for a passenger and 500lbs usefull after full fuel. Might be asking for too much there..‍♂️

I'm looking at buying a plane to cross the Rockies from WA to SD several times over the next few years. I've owned a Cardinal RG and Arrow 200 RG in the past but looking for something a little faster this time. Definitely got a budget under $80k so looking at older Bonanzas, Vikings, and...

Aircraft is a Bellanca Citabria, built in the factory, certified, and flown in the US for 5 years before going to Canada. Its only unairworthy because it hasn't had an annual inspection for several years and it's close enough to me I would rather take it down, trailer it home, and go through it...

I understand that there can be complications importing from Canada. I also have read somewhere that is a lot easier with an airplane that previously had an N-number. I found a complete project, was in annual and flying 6 years ago when the owner got sick and been sitting since. It still has the...

I'm in the process of purchasing a Skylark with the original GO300 in it. I'm not having much luck finding a POH or any manuals for it. Does anyone have one they could share some info out of it? I'd like to know the normal static rpm along with a performance chart if possible. Thanks!

Thanks for the honest write up! Definitely worth considering

To where?

Thanks for the tip, I'll definitely look them up. I come from SD and MN, this snow isn't so bad!

I'll be based out of Grove Field 1W1. Sold my Super Cub, buying a Musketeer or Cherokee for giving rides.

Didn't know about these yet, thanks!
