Cleared for Takeoff
Looking hard at Apaches for a family hauler (2 adults, one 2y/o) and local flights. I see that Twin Comanches seem to be better, and I get that. But lets say I liked the Apache (150hp),what should I know?
Here is found so far-
Cruise- about 120-130 KIAS @14-ish GPH total
Bulletproof 320 engines
complicated hyd gear
shotgun style panel
OE performance is almost nil
Still leaning towards a 182 as my first/last plane, but I always like the idea of twin and the flying sweet potato strikes a chord in my heart.
Feel free to talk me out of looking
Would be getting my ME and IFR rating in it and unless something drastic happens, would not be trading up or out for a long time.
