No, no, no: the 190/195. Beautiful airplane, the last of
Cessna's artful flying machines. All the following high-wingers are
crude in comparison.


Absolutely, they are. I've flown the 195, and while it's a nice butch
looking airplane, it's positively crude next to any of the
Airmasters, or the DC6, or the AW..... OK, I'd still get one,
though..And if i lived in the bush I might even have a 170, theough
I'd rather have an Aeronca Sedan,
I think. Any other single? nah..
They did have a moment with the 310, though.
Saddest thing wth the singles is; the efficiency went through the
floor as well.
How is it a 1934 airplane is still more efficient in every way to a
2007 airplane?
And better looking into the bargain..

Then you need a Skyhawk TD - The Turbo Diesel!


Oh Jesus no.
A Chevvy diesel would be the last thing on my shopping list, honest to
god.

I wonder what that thing sells for compared to a comparable Skyhawk
SP?




I wonder if getting hit by a truck feels worse than getting hit by a
bus?


I have a Chevy 2500 Diesel and it was almost $5000 more than the
gas engine and last time I filled up diesel was $3.59 a gallon, gas
was $2.49, WTF!!!!!



Run it on sunflower oil then...
