Any non-turbocharged aircraft will have issues with 8000' + DAs. The
bigger the engine the heavier the bird. You will need to manage the
load and watch your conditions no matter what you choose to purchase.

While that's true you couldn't make a much worse choice than a Grumman.



My point was to open the poster up to the idea that a different
airplane may better suit his needs. While I'm not a big fan of most
Grummans I know people who love them so I offered it as one of two
alternatives. Maybe I should have said something like...Insert
alternative manufacturer here...instead of being specific.
