The Cherokee 6 is a fixed gear, six place Piper. The Lance is
retractable, but also, for a period,was built with a T tail. The T
tail stabilator is too small and, being out of the prop wash, is
relatively unresponsive at slow airspeeds and can be a real handful
for even experienced pilots. I'd recommend that you stay away from the
T tail Lance. The normal configuration Lance is a nice plane to fly,
however.

Why, pray tell, would you stay away from the T-tail Lance? Ever flown one?
