Clapped-out trainers, wildfires, and which complex?

"xxx" wrote

My choices seem to be a C-172RG, an Arrow or an old, old Mooney M-20.
Any opinions as to which would be the best choice for complex training
(I have no hours in anything with either a constant-speed prop or
retractable gear) followed by casual recreational flying?

Depends if you want to smash bugs, or really go somewhere.

I vote for the Mooney, if it isn't too clapped out, and you want to go
somewhere!

Of course, these days, fuel burn has to be considered in there, somewhere.

But I have to admit, I do like backwards tails! g
