he's certainly experimenting

That too, eh? No detailed description, no tail #. Missing many of the important details that folks add to the description when they truly have a plane to sell.

Most likely a typo. 6K is probably what he paid of that "fresh" annual alone.

Hi Dan. No I'm not at this moment. I'm halfway through my PPL so still not proficient, nor legally allowed to do it. But I wanted to hear the thoughts of more experienced pilots first :)

I think you nailed it there. That's my personal case. I'm halfway through my PPL and that's probably why I don't have the confidence to get passengers right after my check ride. I guess time and some turbulence will build that.

haha ok. Just saw your profile pic and now I understand the mission. Man, you're giving those kids lots of great memories. In my case I'm 5'7" and we have two kids, so it seems that the Archer will be a good fit.

Great pic Jim. What are your thoughts on the Archer as a family plane?

Hi guys. Even if a PPL will legally allow you to carry passengers right after you get it, how long it took you to feel confident enough to bring your loved ones on board? Did you established a number of total hours or any other particular achievements while flying solo in order to take the decision?

Hi Chris. Thanks for that. I'm inclined to buy either a Bushcat or an Aerotrek. Will most likely be the first one. I'l keep an eye on RANS too. Most of the time I'll be flying solo, landing on grass/gravel strips around Québec and Eastern Ontario. Long and slow will be my mission for a few...

Have you decided on your avionics yet? I see a lot of potential panel designs on their website

Approved!

Thanks. Actually found one here in Canada, both hardcover and paperback https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B0006ATOE2/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?ie=UTF8&qid=1645923609&sr=8-1

Thanks, added to my list

With the risk of revealing your age... (I mean, flight hours) do you recall what was the first aviation-related book you read? Do you still keep it on your bookshelf? (Share a pic or link if you want) Here's mine: "The Killing Zone". A book that may scare the s*** out of many aspiring pilots but...

LOL shame on me

FAA calls it Private Pilot Certificate, but most flight schools use PPL on their websites and brochures.

I met a guy the other day at my flight school who is getting his Recreational Permit as he only expects to fly LSA. It makes me wonder if you should still go for PPL even if you only intend to fly LSA (which is my personal case). Should you start with RP and upgrade to PPL on the go, or should...

Oh man, that´s a great point there: Build time vs fly time.

Nah, not really decent. Those go up to 150K+

The usual two seaters C150/52, J-3, but also some small 4 seaters like a Tri Pacer and a Stinson 108-2/3. And some - not so small- Cherokees and C172/182, although is getting harder to buy the latest these days for less than 100K (at least up here in Canada)
