I know 3 guys who are doing this now, and saving a pile... (by their

It is a Cherokee 140..

Yes, the wing IS in the right place..

Yes, it WILL haul 4 people (in a pinch, WITH a pinch!)

And it is a good trainer,


Nope, worst trainer ever.

Well, after the Ercoupe, maybe.

People without legs are alowed to fly them.

they cover a multitude of sins whilst training


And is tough and inexpensive.

True. They are tough.


And parts are reasonable, and available..

And it is a simple to maintain plane..

Also true.

Ald although not a "fast" plane, has decent cross country speed...

Did I mention that the wing is in the right place?

A Cessna 150 is great trainer, but not much else.. It is slow, light,
cramped, no payload..


You're comparing apples and oranges.

the 150 has less than 2/3rds the burn for instance.
