Thanks. Very tempting but 2200 HRS on the engine make it less attractive.

I've paid cash for 2 new cars in the past. Lost at least half of my money in just months. Nothing wrong with borrowing if it makes sense financially.

Can you please post a link to the Grumman group or forum? thanks.

Lol @ FloridaPilot. Well part of this buying process is to prove that you don't need a million dollars to own/fly your own plane. And this is a much more calculated risk on my end :)

Right. Given an airplane can stall at any speed, but particularly on slow flights, I'm used to flying airplanes that stall up to 10 knots slower than the AA-1. Just a mental note thing for me. That said, please do educate me, as I don't want to pass on good opportunity if my reasoning is flawed...

I have to say; I'd never really looked at a Grumman 4 seater until suggested in this thread. That AA-5 is looking very attractive right now. I'd checked out an AA-1 but I'll be passing on that, stall speed's a bit on the high side for me. Thanks guys.

What was the initial purchase price? Tigers I see listed are selling between 45k-$70k

Haha! thank you BrianNC :)

Yea, what's potentially my home airport has a hangar waiting list, and I've heard they also have the most expensive rates in the state. If I can't get an hangar in the $150-$250 range, I may have to settle for tie downs.

Thanks. I've looked at the Grumman but really the 2 seater A1 but I see you're flying the A5. Whats been your general experience so far owning the airplane? and how did you come down to buying that specific model? If you don't mind sharing please. Thanks.

Hey I'm one of your subs man. Love your videos. Keep sharing!

Right. With full fuel, I'll like to have some 400 lbs of useful load left.

I am currently looking to buy a plane in 15k - 25k price range. Initially I was going to pay outright. But I've also been looking at financing. If I went that route and set a budget of $1,000 per month max (this includes payments for the plane, hangar or tie down, insurance, maintenance etc)...

I'm a Youtuber and I document my flights and share my opinions on airplanes/aviation weekly on YouTube. Of course there will be errors made. I've made plenty myself. But no one is perfect including the pulpit commentators (love them all). I can't speak for everyone else but I can tell you how...

WOW! so much I want to say. Rest in peace and condolences to the Cooper family. No matter the error or circumstance, it still hits home when you hear of another Pilot crashing their plane. ADM is a life project for us all. Safe out there Y'all.

No still searching. I'm looking hard at the Cherokee 160 or the Cessna 150. Open to other low wing options within budget though. My biggest hurdle right now is finding a place to park the plane. Closest airport to me @ PDK has a waiting list for hangars from what I've been told, so might need to...

So true. I'm currently in this dilemma myself. I settled with option C :)

Thanks! Both in the next 1-3 years. Using just private vfr to build more time now :). Although I'd prefer to have my own airplane long term and get my instrument rating in that particular plane.

I think you have your stall speeds correct already. Just remember they can change depending on load. I don't think your DPE will ask you about stall speeds as it relates to CAS. Personally never heard of it being asked. As long as you give a straight answer and don't dig holes for yourself you...

First CFI was in late 20s, a year older than me and second CFI was in early 20s 3-4 years younger than me.
