    Yeah nothing right now but give it a couple of months and you’ll see something on Barnstormers. Like a Cozy IV, they aren’t everywhere but it’s still possible to get a used one if you’re patient.

    Hollmann died in 2012, but the airplane is real.

    According to the website, apparently Hollmann's widow is trying to sell the prototype Super Stallion. The FAA registry shows Rita Costa-Hollmann is still the owner, so it's probably still for sale.

    The Glasair Sportsman looks really cool. Too bad you don't have $300K lying around.

    Just adds one minor thing to the "range" criteria. I'm sure you'll find something. :)

    This most certainly true.
    But worth it if you can find it.

    Depends. The 2 available categories would be Exhibition or R&D. Based upon a thread on this subject over on the EAA Forums, it is doable assuming you do something to the aircraft that would make it eligible for either or those 2 experimental categories. http://eaaforums.org/showthread.php?2609-Converting-Certified-Aircraft-to-Experimental

    Having said that, my advice is the same I posted in this thread back in Oct, just buy a 182 or Cardinal and call it good.

    Another vote for the Cardinal.
    One of the easiest ingress/egress light planes ever. And the most attractive of the high wing Cessnas imo.
    But only if you can stand going slower than the Mooney. :)

    I'm always thinking about the next airplane, but this thread is almost a year old. I've dumped a bunch of cash into the Mooney panel now. Thanks for the suggestions anyway guys. lol

    How about a Cardinal RG? I know it’s slower, but you have to ask yourself if you really need all the speed of the Mooney. Probably the easiest plane to get in and out of and one of the sexiest planes around. Great visibility, too. You might even find one with an updated panel. Just a thought.

    Sorry - didn’t read the whole thread before suggesting the Cardinal.

    Still waiting for the day I can put in a modern autopilot, but otherwise it's pretty sweet.

    Friend of mine sold his Mooney for the same reason, wife couldn't get in. Now he flies nothing. He wanted into a Skylane for what he got out of his Mooney. Ain't gonna happen, not in this lifetime.

    My hangar neighbor is building one and it is as easy to get into as my Cardinal.
