Thinking out loud

I have absolutely zero experience with it except hangar flying but by all
accounts, a very next plane to own.

Then again, I would be flying me and my wife on it ... and she weighs a
lot
less than me (70-80 pounds less) so for the trips I plan to do that would
be
less than a problem that plus I just gotta get myself on a diet and for
the
Plane's Sake I would do that ...

My spouse and I complement each other in the weight department too. Her 115
makes my Maule a totally realistic 4 place with luggage and almost full
fuel. Makes the cockpit wide enough too.

This is difficult to do but here goes.... try to make some realistic
assumptions about how you will do most of your flying:

- If you actually travel places, with your wife, you will be more
comfortable in a 4 place (i.e. 2 people and all the stuff you ever want to
carry).

- If you mainly 'just fly'. Day trips alone or occassionally with the 2 of
you. And perhaps only 1 or 2 or 3 trips a year with both of you and
luggage. A 2 place would be fine.

The only thing I would offer to help is that 'travel' requires a
destination(s) that you actually have a need to travel to. If that's not
there, you will probably 'just fly' and that's a very good thing to do in
that little Grumman by all accounts.
