    Is a 172G still a good buy for my purposes?

    Now it'll be 1/4 with one owner who has lost his medical, but still wants to own it. ;)

    Is a 172G still a good buy for my purposes?

    Hey guys, sorry for the late update. With the typical seasonal bad weather over here, we had still no opportunity for a real testflight. So the most important thing is still to come. But I had quite a long chat with our local A&P-shop about the plane and especially about the...

    Is a 172G still a good buy for my purposes?

    @Dan Thomas: Thank you, that’s a great help for the next flight. I was a little in a honeymoon mode and would never look all this stuff up. As far as I know, the reims build cessnas should handle corrosion a little bit better than the US made in general, because of the coating?! But for example...

    Is a 172G still a good buy for my purposes?

    OK, thanks for your opinion. It's not really a steal for its appearance and age, so i'm leaning to pass on this one, too. I really want to travel this year without to much of a headache. @schookeeg: Thanks for the numbers! 4400 hours...wow. o_O

    Is a 172G still a good buy for my purposes?

    Yea, it sounds way better, too. :) Yes it‘s the TBO. And that‘s my biggest fear. Are there good statistics on how much longer they could run? I planning to ask our local A&P for the last compressions and a general evaluation. Is there anything else I could check as a noob? OK. Maybe i‘ll check...

    Is a 172G still a good buy for my purposes?

    I’ve the option to buy a fifth in a 1965 Reims 172G in my Club. Since I just got my PPL and this would be my fist plane, I have a few questions and maybe you could help me out: - It has the original O-300. So, the old 6 banger. Is this more a bug or a feature? I kinda like the smoothness but it...

    Cessna "vs." Reims

    Thanks for all the replies. The know-how of this board is amazing! I thought that it would be like e.g. Fender America vs. Fender Mexico. Now i'm lusting for a Reims Rocket. :)

    Cessna "vs." Reims

    Hello Folks, i've a question: Since in Europe there are a lot of the Cessnas around, wich where build in France at the Reims factory: Could you say, there are some differences in build quality? It seems they are somewhat cheaper over here then the US-made planes. Would like to hear your...
