Sorry for my comment, but can't hold back:
How do you come up with a ridiculous price like that. Your plane is an old pile of junk. Compare it to a 1997 to 1999 Cessna 172! They are available from $75000 and up... Look for yourself www.aso.com And you get recent avionics, lower time, nice paint, nice interior, lower insurance, ad a new engine and you are set... Your plane... $76000...Ha, what a joke...

Look at the engine hours, numb nuts. Also, Flynn's airplane is at least 20 knots faster and has an autopilot. Check the Grumman Tiger prices in ASO, while ypu're blundering around in there. -- Dan C172RG at BFM |

Sure - go 20kts faster for 20 years older you idiot.
And buy a new engine. I checked the Tiger prices - they are for sale - not sold "Dan Luke" wrote in message ... "Satellite" wrote: in message om...

I don't get into an older than 20 year plane!
And what are you telling me here? Are you trying to do some loops and steep turns? Any plane racing in your future? Handling better - for what? Newer is better - PERIOD.

I don't think that's the issue here. (PPL - 110h) Why are you trying to
discredit me anyways? Running out of arguments? If you buy the Tiger you will have to update the avionics sooner or later - this will cost you incl. install about $20000 to $25000 - If you buy a used C172 (newer model) like 1997 or newer with a runout engine, you spend about $21000 for a new engine. So essentially for the same price in the end you will have an airplane that was build 20 years later. Not to mention the paint, the interior, the glass etc. If you are really smart and want to save some money and get more speed, consider spending rather $40000 on an STC for an engine conversion to the Centurion 1.7 engine. Then you can burn jet fuel in a C172 at a rate of 4.6gal/h at 110 kts. Now that's efficient. And because it's a turbo normalized diesel engine running on jet fuel you will have full power - even up to 12000 feet. http://www.centurion-engines.com/c17/c17_perform.htm And don't talk to me like I am an idiot, I was an aircraft mechanic and helicopter mechanic in the German Army - I did my research. I will buy a used C172 after I get my IFR. I will buy one with a runout engine and convert to the mentioned jet diesel. The conversion comes with everything firewall forward. So for about $110000 I can go 110 kts and use only about 4.5 gal of jet fuel. You buy what you like, but I recommend to take a piece of paper and calculate the "total cost" of flying. I will still fly when you run out of credit cards at the FBO to gas up. "Dan Luke" wrote in message ... "Satellite" wrote: I don't get into an older than 20 year plane!
