High wing to low wing converts...or, visa versa?

You know what I realized? They are ALL good.

True Dave...I'd be happy with a nice C-172, Cherokee, whatever. So long
as I can afford it and it's in decent condition, I'll take it.

While we all felt that way at first, Jack, I think some of us are trying to
save you from the learning curve that goes with buying that first plane.

My experience seems to be all too typical. We truly thought we'd be happy
with our Warrior forever. I lavished money on it, fixed it up to the "nth"
degree, and -- just four years later -- had to sell it, because my kids were
getting too big.

Well, "had to" is a bit strong -- we could have made do with it. But 300
fpm climb on a hot summer day, and having to stop for fuel on our way to OSH
proved that we had reached the practical limits of a 150 horsepower engine
with four people aboard.

I would have been SO much better off financially, in the long run, to have
bought a Pathfinder/Dakota/Skylane back in '98, rather than taking the
interim step with buying the Warrior. But who knew? I'd never heard of
Usenet, and had no idea that there were so many valuable aircraft ownership
resources available online.

Now, you do. And the Arrow should keep you happy for a long while!
