A Piper Cherokee 140... good first plane?
I'm beginning the process of looking for my own plane and have heard lots of
advice. Most have advised against getting something like a Cherokee 140 and opt instead for something like a Cessna 172 or a Cherokee 180. Now, most 172 N's that I've flown have a 160 HP engine. It is my understanding that the Cherokee 140 has a 150 HP engine (about comparable to the engine size of a 172M). Will I really miss out on the extra 10 hp difference between the C172N and the Cherokee 140? Confused.... -- -- =----- Good Flights!
