    Even the leg room? I thought the legroom was amazing. I need to check the cabin specs on both.

    What is the general state of GA?

    I'm just not in agreement with those who say it's the price. I had a buddy of mine who sold his aircoupe and I posted it on POA: https://www.pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/1946-ercoupe-for-sale.103943/ for 16k, (Yes 16K) Didn't need anything and it was ready to go. Hardly anybody...

    I'm a member of ABS and Cirrus. I was referring to Piper Comanche in particular. I was a Piper Magazine member for a bit but I didn't enjoy the magazine much. I'm a wide person but you cannot say ALL Mooneys the Ovation, Acclaim and Bravo fits really nicely.

    What is the general state of GA?

    I spoke to a Cirrus sales guy at OSH, (I know I mentioned before in a previous posts). They sold 400 Cirrus SR22's this year alone. GA is not going anywhere.

    But what about Fuel Burn I'm sure the Mooney does better? Does the V tail have CG problems? I keep hearing that!

    What is the general state of GA?

    I remember I worried about "The state of GA" when I first started wanting to learn how to fly. That was some 4 years ago. Since then: #1 I got my Pilots license, (Thank you POA for all of your advice in the past). #2 I flew in many airplanes, (Hitched a ride in a Pilatus PC-12 simply because I...

    So the 260's cabin is much bigger than the 250's? I thought it was the same size just the engine HP was the difference. It does thanks for your time. Is transition difficult for a Pilot that has only flown Cessna, Archers and Cirrus?

    How much total time is too much?

    Exactly! You can find corrosion in ANY airplane but back to our theory with the 1960 Airplane. The airplane is 58 years old and didn't get an overhaul it has 1100 hours on it on average the airplane has flown 19 hours a year. That is not a lot of time to get oil through the engine. As a...

    How much total time is too much?

    That is true but like others mentioned the airplane could be sitting outside in the Florida Sun for years and when they decided to sell they paint the darn thing so it looks nice on the outside. Corrosion is a big problem here in Florida, even if the airplane has been in a hangar.
