Just hand be the keys to a new Mooney Ovation 2 GX with the Garmin G1000
glass cockpit. Add the O2 system, the known icing system, and every other
option on the list.

The Porsche of airplanes: Mooney...

What's your choice?

The most expensive one on the market, which i would promptly sell and buy a
172 or something.. may splurge on a 206 (gently used), and keep remaining
proceeds in a maintenance/upgrade account for the airplane... (but i do
think the Diamond TwinStar looks linke a darned cool machine... that or a
Lake Renegade.)

Oh, changed my mind - Murphy Moose, on floats. It's like a mini-Beaver.

Confidence is the feeling you have before you understand the situation.

Lemme see now....

1.) New, piston-driven airplane.
2.) Third wheel in the back.
3.) Center stick.
4.) Gotta be worth flying (i.e., +5/-3 g's at a minimum).
5.) Round engine would really be nice, too (it's gotta make the right
noises).
6.) Canopy for visibility.

You guys can have the plastic airplanes.... they're fast, but not FUN.
Looks like I'll be getting a Yak 52TW. :-)

-Dave Russell
If you fly the airplane the same way you drive the elevator, you are
not a pilot.

GA-8 Airvan, which I would promptly take down to Lopresti's son's shop
and ask them to seal the gaps, add some fairings and give me a few
more knots.

Regarding my earlier post taking my new Airvan to Lopresti's shop,
do ya' think that they would laugh out loud if if we arrived with
amphib floats bolted to the bottom of the airframe?

Piston?



No thanks, and I wasn't the first to respond with a turbine choice.
