A guy here bough a Super Viking. No one knows how to work on it. No one knows how to fly it. And the rube doesn't have a hangar. MooneyM20c Ranger. 140 knots all day long burning 8-9 gallons an hour. Get the manual gear and say goodbye to gear problems. You can get one and with 50K have enough left over to pay for some squawks. And did I forget to mention that the Mooney will carry around a thousand pounds of you, your woman, and your woman's ****.
None of the experimentals will do this for the money. You can't buy a decent RV for Mooney money, they get pricey fast. Don't believe me, do some shopping. You put you and your favorite skirt in a Varieze and you won't have enough room for a sandwich. There is no greater bang for the buck in GA than a vintage Mooney.
