Thank you Mase... unfortunately, there are none in my area, I'll have to be interviewing some individuals out of New Zealand and Australia in a couple weeks.

Kritchlow... thank you for your advice, but like my original post says, I need the aircraft for work related reasons. I don't need to fly the aircraft myself for right now, I can hire a pilot to handle that for me until I am lic. and competent to fly the aircraft myself. It's a matter of...

Has anyone flown in the tropics before... any real-life experience ? Apples to apples experience ? It's typically 85 degrees and 80 to 100% humidity year round. What four seater aircraft works great out here with full fuel and full seats ? But not a fuel guzzler!

I'm sure this topic has been chin-wagged to death, but maybe there's a few of you that wouldn't mind helping a new guy out. I'm in the market to purchase a used single engine four seater... first time buyer by-the-way, and about to begin my PPL flying lessons journey too. I live in the south...
