Cherokee 235 vs Trinidad vs Comanche
Jay Honeck wrote: Alas (then as now) marketing ruled America, and, like lemmings to the sea, buyers flocked to the brand with the bigger marketing budget. Only many years later have pilots come to realize what an incredible performer the 235 is. Hogwash. Even if the marketing caused all those 182's to be sold in error instead of the Cherokees, which was not the cause, if the Cherokee was indeed better it would sell for a lot more money than it does now. You like it and that's great but you are a small minority. See the Piper Cub as a prime example. Dirt cheap back in the day, take a look at your typical PA-18 now, the price is way out of proportion. It's because it is now known to be the best airplane for the purpose it was designed for and also why you can barely give away a used Husky. |
