Oh sure, lets get someone else interested in the minimal supply of Cardinals and Tigers :biggrin:

I learned to fly in a DA-20, so I like the DA-40. I had a hard time adjusting to a 172. Most of the reasons why DA-40s would be lower on my list for ownership have already been mentioned (low useful load, hard to fit in hanger, rough in turbulence); I will add 2 more: 1) None of the modern...

The proper ones in the IBM Thinkpads were excellent when the sensitivity was set correctly. The imitation ones in Dells were awful. So bad on one of my work laptops in the mid 2000s that if I pushed lightly on the left side of the case, the pointer would move left. Push on the right side of...

Agreed! Proper tie down knots were one of the things not covered during my training and something I've always been deficient at.

The OP's Archer does not have a GNX375 (transponder/GPS/ADSB), its a GNC355 GPS/com, KT76A transponder + Freeflight Rangr ADSB in and out

Hey here is a Tiger for sale...or maybe not. If this was a Traveler in TX I'd assume it was posted by SPC: https://www.barnstormers.com/classified-1583237-grumman-tiger-aa5b.html

Not something I'd want to beta at my house in the 'burbs with 1G FIOS at that initial cost, but considering the quotes I have heard to have cable or fiber run to remote locations or a fully mobile RV w/home office, even a $20k antenna could be considered reasonable. How much do the sat systems...

I'm excited by the prospect of being able to live outside the range of cable/fiber internet and be able to properly work+play remotely. To be GA related, far enough out I could afford sufficient land for my own grass strip.

I second the ideas of a VW GTI or Honda Accord with manual. Add in a Mazda3.

I've determined at this point that is for someone more experienced in airplane ownership than I to figure out :biggrin:

For the quotes I got recently, the hull value makes the most difference. For those earlier quotes, what were the hull values?

A simple "Yes, that is correct" would have been simpler

I thought Aero charts are part of all of the "plus" packages, including the now minimum "Basic Plus" * *An artifact of the pricing model changes over the years but its pretty silly that all of the available packages are now Plus packages. They might as well just rename them Large, X-Large...

You are saying that any GA piston single manufactured before 1991 has a max celling value in the 40-80k range, no matter the condition of the airframe and avionics? One could call that a controversial viewpoint.:D

That about lines up with what I was thinking. The fact the prop would work for a PPonk/XP470 increased the interesting-ness. If this was at a more local airport I'd be more inclined to consider it.

Have I been looking at a different 182 market than everyone else? I’ll happily buy a $65k-$85k 182 with good paint, decent interior, GPS, adsb, and a functional engine. Seriously, please! :D

It's a '68 182 listed for $65k in apparently otherwise good shape. With a prop (but not a crank) that supports the PPonk/XP470 upgrade.

Since I’m not likely to buy, here is the specific example. https://www.controller.com/listings/aircraft/for-sale/192423569/1968-cessna-182l-skylane looks like a factory rebuild in ‘06 after similar issues, then a new cylinder due to low compression, now cam/lifter issues. Does the owner have...

182

Thats what I was thinking. But then you have to get an overhaul for an engine for a plane you now own that is several states away. And then fly a newly overhauled engine home.
