All I know is I love my Bonanza. I feel way safer in that than I ever did in
my Cherokee 180. the insurance company wanted 26 hours with an instructor. I
flew by myself for the next 10. I started in a Vtail and then bought an
A36. The A36 is a nice plane. I have never had any buyers remorse.

I am contemplating buying an airplane mostly for business trips, but I
know a 172 or something like that will not stand the test of time
since I frequently travel to Wichita and the headwinds are brutal
sometimes.

I have been thinking about a Mooney or Bonanza but I wonder if I am
setting myself up for trouble since I have less than 100 hours logged.

Do you think I would be less safe in such an airplane, or would some
extra training be sufficient?
