Yes Tar, That's my dilemma exactly. Your brother rolled the dice and won. I'm glad it worked for him. I was hoping to figure out a way to not have to roll the dice.

Agreed, especially 1006. But until he finds it and I see it, I have to assume it's not done and figure out how I can get it done before purchase.

Thx Tar, Good thought and I will do that, but shouldn't I try to have this done before purchase? Need to see if there is corrosion before purchase.

Anyone have an update on weather this was made into an ad? Am looking at putting a down payment on a 62 cherokee. Would help me if it was an ad

Hi all, I'm looking at puting a down payment on a early Cherokee 160. I asked about service bulletins 1304, 1244, 1006, 977 and he didn't think they were done but would look. The plane has been hangared but airport is on the coast by the water. Paint is 2 years old. If not done, how would you...

Thx slacktide, will definitely look into them

Slacktide, The Grumman traveler sounds like it will fit my needs. What's the stall speed? I haven't been looking at the Grumman traveler because I know the other models have a high stall speed.

Dan, The tripacer was a 150hp model that stated that takeoff distance. That's odd that the Cherokee came info first out it the 3, but in your experience, is the worst. The website I visited was rising up aviation.

Thx Tom, I've been looking at the tripacer, but the take off run is greater than the Cherokee 140 (on paper anyway) I'm reading the pacer is great for grass stripes. The one website I visited to check takeoff distances was showing the 172r at 865, Cherokee 140 at 800, and tripacer at 1120. Is...

Thx Ryan, That's what I'm thinking also. I'm also looking at lsalot shorter take distances, but the bikes would not be able to fit Ta, I do have a nice airport thats 3200 ft paved that's 20 min away. Could always leave from there when ever loaded.

Thx ta, 150 is crossed off I was looking into the tripacer. I don't have a tailwheel end.

Thx all for the info. Everyone's comments make great sense. I was looking into a Cessna 150 and Piper Cherokee and both have tons of ads. I guess alot of it has to do with age also. Let me rephrase the question. I'm looking to get an airframe and motor combo that is as bulletproof as I can...

Any jab guys that can answer? Thx

I've been in the market for a reliable plane. Been searching for the elusive bulletproof airframe. In my search, one of my cfis mentioned that he use to instruct in a and ch2000 and it was close with no ad's. Unfortunately, I need a little more baggage. Does anyone else know of any other...

That's weird.... Thx sourdoug

Hi all, I'm looking at a thorpedo t-211 with a jabiru 2200 second generation serial 2987. I've been researching the jab and keep coming upon the through bolts, pushrods, flange bolt. Are all these issues now taken care of with service bullitens? The 2nd generation is the one that had all the...

Rtk11, Besides being a little slow, the ranger would be perfect except trying get in around 40k. I think thats why I've been looking at experimentals. Is there a kit plane that's close to the ranger? Firefly, I am looking into the liberty now Thx

Thanks for the multiple responses! I'll try to answer the questions in order I will prob the messages better to see if I can find an expert in my area I am on the east cost(Pennsylvania). I am looking into the the liberty now. It's a nice looking plane, but I was leaning towards a rotax. I...

Hi all, I've been looking for a 2 person plane for a while now. I came across an Europa xs trigear that I'm going to look at next week. It's a composite kit built by an a&p Any info on composite planes or this plane? Good, bad? Any way to test the composite? Does a tap test work? Any tips on...
