I asked about opinions on several different aircraft recently from 182, arrow,
etc.
I made an offer on a 1969 Arrow and had a prebuy perfromed. Everything is
satisfactory, so I will be piucking it up tomorrow or Saturday.
182's - Great planes, just a few in my price range with decent engine times,
and all 1956,7,8 and 9's. Most basic VFR. Like i said great planes and
holding value.
Tigers - Good planes, very limited offering of Tiger's for sale.
Arrow - I looked at at least five Arrows before deciding on the one I am
buying. With most of my time in a 172, I see the Arrow as great transition
aircraft. I can work on my instrument rating and have some speed to go
somewhere. Maintenance is not a nightmare issue and overhaul costs on the
IO-360 are not over expensive. In three to four years, I can step up to
another aircraft - Bonanza - Cherokee 6 - Cessna 206, etc.
Thaks for all of the comments.
