Having said that, have a look at the Ercoupe or the Piper Warrior 140.

Or better yet, a rental. You could buy & feed a cow, but for most of us it
makes far more sense to buy milk.

A flying club combines many of the benefits of ownership with the low cost
of rental.

For instance, in my flying club http://www.rochesterflyingclub.com/, the
monthly dues are less than what AOPA says a good renters insurance policy
will cost you. But you get clean, well maintained planes flown by people
who treat the planes like they have to pay the maintenance costs.

no longer has any real responsibility and is kept far away from sharp or
