check with the partnership about insurance with any 6 place aircraft before
you join the partnership and make that part of your decision making process.

Many insurance underwriters have drastically increased the insurance premium
and the pilot qualification requirements for 6 place aircraft.

Do a google search on this topic.. it was all over the usenet a couple of
months ago.

I'm looking at buying into a partnership. The plane is a Piper Lance (6
place, complex single engine).

From you Piper drivers, particularly those who have Lance experience,
is there anything I need to know about? I asked an IA about 6 place
aircraft and he told me that C210s I was looking at tend to have gear
problems. What are the common Lance problems?

Being a PA28-180 driver, what should I expect in moving to a mid-70s
Lance?

Note that I do have C182 (straight and retract) time after flying C15x
and C172 before the purchase of the Cherokee.
