Gary, I'm not sure you can afford this, but it looks like a fun ride.

Not sure anyone can afford that deal. The cub is only 30K. The girl that comes with it is $100K. That's annually. Even if you decide you don't like her, she'll still cost you $50k/yr afterwards. And she get's half you plane!

That girl will pluck your head off your shoulders and throw away your carcass.

I'm guilty of being a horsepower junkie.....but this one even has a little too much muscle for me.

Did you see the legs on that gal. She could kill most anybody. Wasn't that in a James Bond flic once?

I'm back, and in the hunt. Had a good weekend at Caveman. Met a lot of new fun folks, saw a lot of nice planes.
WW Thanks. There is a nice one in this area for S27.5K
There is also a nice 150/150 for sale for $30K if anyone wants one. Great affordable flying for the money.
AlpineTCraft Thanks
Don't forget, I live at nearly 7k' and go up. Want good shortfield/slow flight performance. To fat for the J3/PA11
Hoping to find something before it gets to the classifieds.
Thanks all for the help
Gary

Gary - where is the 150/150 listed? Also curious about the rans S6 in Mack. Really, I am wanting an S7 but the lady in my life gets sick riding in back seats.

Thanks!

I found 2 Highlanders on there. One is nearby, and I have looked at it. It is nice. Both are out of my price range.
Thanks Gary

Thanks Tom
I am looking for a little better stol performance than that willl offer. I basically fly from 6K' and up.

i saw it and saw it was cheap and thought of ya. Couldnt hurt to post..

Tom

I appreciate the thought.
I would say my top 3 picks right now would be a 180hp Wag Aero Sportsman 2+2, Rans s7, and a Cessna 170/180 hp. But there are others I would buy if the price were right.

I keep coming back to the Aeronca 15 Sedan. I have an idea that the light weight and the giant all metal wing will go a long way to making it an effective high D/A airplane. I'm about 1000 feet lower than you are though. They do have occasionally spar web corrosion issues and a relatively new AD on them. The TCDS is owned separately from the rest of the Aeronca line and the owner is actively supporting it. It should be more than a hundred pounds lighter than the 172 and who knows, maybe down the line it gets a Lycoming.

I'm sure not against it, just don't know anything about it.

Another one that I would think would do well would be an old citabria or similar. Don't know all the different models. Did fly in a 160hp Citabria. Did pretty good, but I would want more power and flaps I thought a similar champ w180/flaps would be a pretty good combo??? I would prefer metal spars and ribs.

Still think experimental has some nice advantages.

Another that I have real good comments on is the Arctic Tern.

7GCBC is a citabria with flaps, and for the most part they all have wood spars, unless a factory new wing, and i think one other company has a stc for metal spars but uses old ribs and spacers. im pretty sure they came factory with 150, and nothing bigger, i could be wrong, but we have one with a one time stc for a 180. The only limiting factors are fuel or lack of, they only hold 32 gal and with a 180, is about 3 hr of fuel, Also most citabria have a high empty weight and only 1650 GW


Tom

This is a big learning excersice for me. The only planes I am familiar with are the c-150/170/180/182.
Little aerobatics in a decathalon and a Great lakes. Short flight in KitFox, Rans s7, J3, PA18

The best planes that I am aware of for what I want to do are the Super Cub and C-180, both too expensive for me at this time
Maules are in there too M4's/M5's

I like the Rans s7, Highlanders, Bearhawks, Kitfox's Models 5-7(easily folding wings, another big plus) Experimental, affordable to fly, good shortfield performance

Arctic Tern is another that I have heard would be really good, but rare.

It might fit the bill for me, I am flying out of Moab -- granted doesnt have everything -- but 20k safe/clean plane leaves a lot of ability to fly and upgrade the motor/stol later. thanks for posting. I am in the same boat as Gary it seems... same planes/wants but cant afford it right now.

I do appreciate this thread.
