I am looking to buy a plane. I have about 130 hours (plus about 30 more that I can't count officially because I was in Africa). I did my training in a 172, but since my PPL have been mostly flying a 182.
Today I flew a Cherokee-6/300 for the first time to another airport to look at possibly buying a Turbo Lance in great condition… 9/10 on the paint and interior, new Turbo on it, intercooler and very clean panel.
Any thoughts on the Turbo Lance? I was told the current owner gets near 200mph and 17-19gph. It's got:
Apollo MX20
Apollo GX60
Apollo SL30 (nav/com)
Apollo SL70 (transponder)
What sort of support for these will there be going forward esp with ADS-B coing up in a few more years?
There is also a Piper Turbo Arrow for sale but I think the Lance might be a better deal.
