Pre-takeoff checklist
I did a search here, and didn't see anything about this plane before, but I noticed an article about them on Wikipedia.
Assuming one were to do an extensive pre-buy, it seems to me that these are quite the deal. All the ones on barnstormers seem to come at less than $30k! In addition, it is a 500nm range, with a 180mph cruise at roughly 8 gph!
Is there a significant downside to these planes that I'm missing? It seems to me that it is better than just about any other 2 seater I've been looking at (though not terribly seriously) performance wise, while still only costing a little more than a 150!
