The Cardinal is very nice. Something about strutless high wings is really
appealing.


Cardinal is pretty, but the Helio Stallion gets my vote for
strutless high-wing single. See

Rare, too; only two left flying. Helio is supposedly putting it
back into production. Cruises at 175 kt, can fly at 37 kt. Hard to beat
that for speed range. See

For twins, I like the Commanders (AC-500 and AC690)

For singles, I guess I am biased, but I like the Skylane.

I know a lot of you will scoff, thinking 'ugly, run of the mill' or
whatever. But I think I like them because they look like airplanes. Not
somebody's art project.

Exactly why I like the King Air. It's there to do a job. Maybe not a
particularly fast or spectacular job, but a good, solid one.

Hey, a Cherokee owned by me is better looking than a Cardinal owned by
someone else! ;-)

True, which is partially why it's in a class by itself g.

All the best,

I must be because they are a good looking plane.
