Buy as much performance as you can afford. How about a Mosquito?
Easy to fly. Excellent stability. All automatic hookups. Very large range
of L/D. Will beat the pants off an L-33. $24000 is easily in the
Mosquito ballpark. My son has flown the Mosquito with a lot less
time than you have.
In my opinion - what to look for and priority
handling characteristics - 1
all automatic control hookups - 1
performance - 2
weight - 3
size - 3
condition - ? - that depends greatly on one's personality

The rest you can work the problem yourself, like one-man riggers
and good trailer fittings.

The training has been in a 2-22. I will be flying
a few different aircraft before flying the L-33. If
there is another aircraft that might be better?
