Poll: best bird under $35K?

Tripacer is the most bang for your buck.
under valued and better performance than the 140 or the 172.
I don't understand why most people are afraid of fabric airplanes.

There's a big difference there in terms of comfort for the third passenger
and room for baggage. Have you been in a 140? It's a lot tighter than
a 180.

Well, this person lives in a place where hangars cost $400+/month after
you've waited 5 years to get into one. After seeing what New England winters
do to my new car I'll be damned if I'm keeping a fabric plane outside.

only 5 years? I had to wait 9 years before getting one at KBED.
But cheer up, if Massport keeps raising the hangar rates then
the wait will get even shorter. :-(
