Howdy,

My Requirements:
3 Humans, 4 hours, VFR, ~ 100 knots.

[snip]
Piper Cherokee 140
Pros: Aluminum, Modern plane, modern panel.
Cons: Doesn't meet weight requirements.

tend to have a lower basic empty weight than the newer ones).

However, if your "3 humans" are each a bit heavier than 170 lbs...
