Hi Nev. it’s not just the corrosion. It’s all those yearly, 2 yearly, 5 yearly and 10 yearly SIDS that’s a turn off. Turns relatively cheap and easy annuals into protracted and expensive. That’s a death nail for Cessnas as far as I’m concerned

Hi all,I’m looking for some advise please.

I’m a 200 hr PPL. I used to own my own aircraft, a BE33 with an IO550 in it, now sold and I’m looking at purchasing another aircraft.

 

I primarily commute, a there and back trip of 100NM, which goes through a military restricted zone, once a week VMC permitting.

 

I want a low fuel burn and around 90-100kts, reasonable x wind capability. 1POB and 10kgs of baggage. I used to rent 2 hangars spaces, one at origin and one at destination, both of which I have relinquished so new aircraft will be kept outside under covers.

 

I have considered the following. RV’s with lycoming 320 power plants, your usual Piper archer/Cherokee/warrior Ac and even Skyfox Gazelle with Rotax power plants. The benefit of the Skyfox is I could keep it in an enclosed trailer.

 

Thoughts please
