What would you buy with a 50k budget?

Much too sweeping of a statement. Age of avionics, any other electromechanical device, consider age related metal fatigue/failures, quality of rebuilds........the older the greater thechance for misuse. Age of avionics is independent of the airframe age. These tend to be updated over the years. Metal fatigue is more related to the number and quality of hours on the airframe (I'm talking about non-pressurized GA) than chronological age. the older the greater thechance for misuse. This is much too sweeping of a statement. Some of the most abused aircraft belong to FBOs and tend to be of the newer variety. One of my neighborhood FBOs has several PA28 trainers from the 80s that are pushing 15, 000 hrs. on the airframes.

Lol. I'm glad I never listened to their opinion.
Kirk Ellis wrote in message news  Colleagues, friends and family all think my flying partner and I are bonkers to even be discussing the purchase of an airplane. It's an insane, irrational, idiotic, and plain dumb idea to them. What ARE we thinking???!!! snip Kirk

I am in the process of buying an old Ercoupe in a new flying club that I'm starting with two other guys. Our entire investment will be $18,000 -- divided three ways. Some thoughts: Spar issues, make sure it has all the extra inspection holes underneath... Not all models are "Light Sport" compliant... Looks bigger than it actually is. For + sized people... Did you tell Montblack about this?

I am in the process of buying an old Ercoupe in a new flying club
that I'm starting with two other guys. Our entire investment will be $18,000 -- divided three ways. Some thoughts: Spar issues, make sure it has all the extra inspection holes underneath... Check. Not all models are "Light Sport" compliant... Yep. We ended up getting a '48 "E" model, which is NOT light sport. It does, however, have an extra 180 pounds of useful load. Looks bigger than it actually is. For + sized people... It's "cozy"... ;-) Did you tell Montblack about this? Yep. He was actually the guy that got us looking at buying an Ercoupe in the first place, and was an early partner in this venture. We stopped looking for light sport models after he backed out. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"
