There's (understandably) a lot of discussion about Piper vs. Cessna vs.
Mooney...

I'm considering a (Rockwell) Commander 114B. Their marketing hype makes
it
seem that the Commanders have a much better safety record than their
competition. Anyone have any input on that?


I've had a friend with a 114 GT and he loved it. It was the only a/c
that he flew regularly besides his SF-260. Huge cockpit, very
comfortable and good vision. Parts can be a bit hard to find and some
are expensive, but if you go with one, join the 112/114 club and they
can be a huge help. I'm just getting set to go and recover my 680 Twin
Commander project this fall.

I notice that everybody that dinged them has dinged them regarding parts.
