At these numbers, personally, I'd be for digging in the pockets

a little harder for the '21.



Evan, doesn't the PW-6 Wally was flying Saturday belong

to your club ? Is the club unhappy with it ?



See ya, Dave "YO electric"

Walter's PW-6 belongs to Walter and he seems to like it quite a lot. My club (lately) is Post Mills. We have an L-13 (argh) and a 2-33. For a season we rented a very crappy L-23 from GBSC (I wouldn't fly it, it didn't pass my pre-flight), then it was offered to us for only $35K and we said "No". Our airport is small enough that take off performance is a serious concern.. We've ruled out G-103s, DG-anything on this basis. A K-21 might work, a Puch might work, a PW-6 might work. However our numbers say "used" not new. I don't have enough experience with the PW (one flight) to have much of an opinion.

Walter has a partner on the PW-6 who feels slighted when people overlook him

Here is another trainer option
