    Twin engines are out of the question. Way too high op cost for someone like me.

    I've been looking at C182s, and they look like they check all of my boxes, I absolutely admit that. Also the high wing would be great for flyins for camping under the wing. I also like the idea of being able to get in on both sides. The only problem is that the backseat "looks" small in...

    I actually am not wanting one now, I'm planning on 3-5 years from now. I'm going to need the time to get some hours racked up, and also to narrow the field as much as possible/save as much as possible. I figured the 60k was what I'd have in the bank in 3 years and 80 in five.(provided...

    I actually joined a club to do my training, I also intend to home base out of there, so membership is good for the cheaper hangar and access to the avionics guy and A&P.

    Thanks, I've been using it as a guestimator to figure out what's actually in my price range and what's not. Trying to narrow the field as much as possible as quickly as possible. That way I can start actually looking, and for motivation to save my pennies.

    I looked into those, they're super sweet, and the cheapest one is at the top of my price range, which means "technically" in there, but too close for comfort.

    Thanks, So more appropriately, Payload has to be about 600, as anyone that I will haul +bags can easily weigh that much. Range would be about 5-600 miles in ~5-hours Cost no more than about 120 bucks an hour and no more than about 60K to buy. EDITS: several for grammar and to make it clearer.

    What should I adjust for my expectations? That will be very valuable input for me.

    Hi first time poster here. So I'm just starting my training, with the goal of buying my own plane in a few years. I'm looking for recommendations for an aircraft that'll do the following things: Travel at a good, 130+Kt, low priority. Have at least 4 comfortable seats(6 would be stellar)...
