Pre-takeoff checklist
Hey PoA, it has been a while since I have been on here. I have lurked a few times but haven't posted anything. Life has a way of surprising you, and it's not always good. I sold my airplane, got divorced, built a race car, and generally got away from flying for a while. I am beyond ready to return.
I have decided to buy a complex aircraft. A huge chunk of my flying time is in twins, with the rest mostly being Piper Arrows. I figured I would look into an Arrow because it seems logical, I have over 250 hours in type. I noticed that some Beech Debonairs are in my price range (40-55k) but I really know nothing about them. Old V35s are also price well, but for some reason I like the 33 better.
I would like to buy an Arrow, but should I rule out a Debonair in my search? I only need 2 seats most of the time and less than 3 hours range. If you do happen to have some "what to look for" advice on the Debonair, I would appreciate hearing about it. I hope to be flying again soon!
If this is the wrong section I'm sorry, please move it.
