Yeah! Tell em Pigpen! Wanna share one of those planes with me :)

Well help me find one and I'll buy it! haha

I found a 260 Comanche for $31k, but it says "annual complete with the exception of needing 4 cylinders." Uhh... Does that means it basically needs an overhaul? lol. This plane would have been perfect otherwise!

Dont you take my plane sir! Finders keepers! lol

You found a Navion in your budget??

How do we all feel about Experimentals?

Well I didn't mean direct... I planned on making at least one stop with my little plane lol. I wish I had a 60-80k budget! Trying to stay out of debt, so I gotta stick to cash for now. I will definitely look into Moonies though!

Gotta love the aviation community man. That would be awesome, thank you!

Don't quite have that information yet :/ TT on aircraft is about 4088, and 989 since last overhaul. I'd imagine its been quite some time. He's owned it for 10 years. At an average of 77 hours per year, I'm guessing 12 years ago, at least! But who knows! Once he tells me he's interested in my...

Ah! Good to know! Thank you

Well part of my approach is partnering with an A&P on the plane with rights to fly whenever they want. That should help on cost, but honestly I'm not too worried about the cost of ownership. I have no debt and about 2k in free cash flow every month to support my habit. I think that should be plenty?

This might be a stupid question, but I'm a newbie so meh... what does it mean to fill the the tabs?

Yeah I've been waiting for these prices to come down some! I did not know that about the insurance. Thank you for that!

Heya fellas, I figured I'd start a new thread with more details of what I'm looking for since that's kinda what my last thread was turning in to. I appreciate everyone's input so far! I have a cash budget of $30-40k Want something with retractable gear to help with the speed. Flying mostly...

After looking up some of the suggested planes, I realized I should let you all know what kind of budget I'm working with! Lol! Dakotas are beautiful, but hot damn are they pricey. I'm buying cash with a budget between 30-40k... maybe that'll help :D or maybe I should start a new thread... Yall...

Wow! Lots of valuable info, thank you good sir! Well maybe I need to broaden the scope of my search. I only know of Tradeaplane and Craigslist. Are there any other good used aircraft sites I can browse? The other ones I've found don't have much.

See, now that paints a good picture for me lol. 4 adults ain't gonna work in this bird! Not for the fun trips anyway. Hmm

Well originally I was looking for a 140, but then I started to realize how underpowered they are. I've been looking on Craigslist and trade a plane for the last few months, and this one fits my budget at the moment, and has a lot of time left between overhauls. The avionics in this plane are...

Yeah I definitely plan on checking it out in the next week or two. He's thinking on my offer, so hopefully he'll accept! Know any good A&Ps out there??

Oops I forgot to include the second half of the ad! Interior is clean and nice, looks like pretty old avionics I'm not allowed to provide a link I guess, so this is all I got! Horsepower: 160 Gross Weight: 2200 lbs Empty Weight: 1339.83 lbs Useful Load Fuel Capacity: 50 gal Max baggage...
