Thanks for everyone's answers. Yes, for $200/month, the plane would have
to be around $20K or a little less. Seems like they're out there --- a
Piper Tomahawk, for instance, or maybe an old Grumman.

And yes -- I'm also aware of the additional costs involved in plane
ownership -- which is why I want to keep the base payment less than
$200. I already have a hangar (building a kit plane), so that cost is
already being absorbed.

Renting may seem like the best answer, which is what I've been doing,
but it's not. For instnace, I like to fly to Vegas or Arizona for 3 or 4
days at a time, and the cost of rentals is too high since you have to
pay for all that flight time. And that's even if the plane is available,
since I want to fly the same time as most others do! Plus, I'm getting
sick & tired of having radios go out and other annoying problems with
the rentals.

I guess the search continues...but there has to be something out there.
Ultralight won't work for the x-country stuff. I've thought about a
partner, and would consider that, but how would I go about finding one?
