Comanche 250: Safe, Fun and easy to fly, Fast, cheap purchase price,
cheap to fly, (i dont think as cheap as the arrow) Good backing from
many different company webco, international comanche socity, Lots of
mechanics work and know there stuff about the comanche. I was even told
a story about a guy taking off from Long Beach airport in a 1964
Comanche 250 1,100 pounds over gross and flying no stop to Japan. Now if
thats true I have no idea.

Cessna 210: my dad had a 1982 T210N. He said thats been the best plane
he flew in his life. The 82 210 has a fast cruise seed of 200 or so and
can go for ever, good landing gear, High useful load (my dads was around
1,500) They also are safe, and when you go to sell them you could get
your money back and then some. But they aren't the cheapest to fly nor
to buy.
HOPE THIS HELPS
I would go with the Comanche

If he wants a Lance it is unlikely that a Comanche is going to be big
enough. An 1982 210 isn't in the same price range.

Just opening up his choices!
Cant go wrong with a Comanche

Im not going to bring the T-Tailed Lacne down but how long did they make
it. It wasnt for very long. If it is such a good airplane then why did
piper quit making it, money or something like that, I looked into buying
a turbo T-Tailed lance. But then the Comanche came along. So now we are
going to be getting a 64 comanche 250 8389P
Hope this help

I work at a repair shop and all the mechanics and even the people in the
office seem to hate them. They seem to be fuel hogs, are very tight to work
on (esp the turbo model) and people always say bad things about the T tail.
No personaly experience here, if they are disliked, they should be cheaper
and that would just make it a better buy and long as you can live with the
way it work, why not. Somebody bought the AMC Gremlins when they were new
right? Not saying the planes are Gremlins though.

I have just finsihed my Instrument rating and it is about time to move up
to
soemthing faster that hauls more than my wonderful Piper Cherokee 140. An
interetsing possibility is a Piper Lance or Turbo Lance. I am open to
comments and hope to get some!

I would look at a Cherokee 6 300. I have seen some with 7 seats in them
(one child seat) they look to be big inside. I dont know anything about
them, but i hear good things.
