Cessna Cardinal 177 RG II v. Piper Arrow III (70s) v. Piper Arrow III (brand new)
Guys... I totally forgot to mention earlier (it has nothing to do with
the decision to buy the plane), but if you guys want to see that Cardinal RG in action rent the movie Firefly with Kevin Costner... that is that exact Cardinal RG. |

"There's no prestige in either of those."
It's like comparing Lincoln to Bentley... both are luxurious and have smooth rides, but one is superior in countless ways in terms of performance (Bentley), while the other is vastly superior in terms of reliability and maintenance expenses (Lincoln). Theres pride in both, prestige in both. |

It flows out and penetrates into seams, fasteners, etc. There is one downside of this treatment: the fluid will weep out of seams in the airplane for several months and attract dirt, requiring additional washing. -- Dan C172RG at BFM |

That's on its way down as I got the Bo with zero retract time last year. I would expect the premium to be in the $1800 range next year. Congrats on the upgrade.. hope you like it.. I've always liked the Bonanza ride.. just not the bonanza price/cost of operation/cost of parts.. I've seen little difference in cost from my 182. Total operating cost is lower as I burn a lot less gas in the local area. |

Having flown from the four main islands, whilst on vacation, you might consider throwing cross-winds into the equation when you make your decision. |

Tell us more about that. What is it, that you do, on every other annual?
While the shop has all the covers off to do the usual annual stuff, they use a long applicator wand to spray a fine mist of the material throughout the interior metal surfaces of the airplane. It flows out and penetrates into seams, fasteners, etc. There is one downside of this treatment: the fluid will weep out of seams in the airplane for several months and attract dirt, requiring additional washing. Not to mention the increasing weight and change of W/B each application. |

Having flown from the four main islands, whilst on vacation, you might consider throwing cross-winds into the equation when you make your decision. Which islands/airports did you fly in to? Theres a few fun ones here. What are you talking about? The fact that our winds are that messed up in Hawai'i, like I said 040@15G35, crosswind component plays a very minor role in my decision as I've never had a crosswing component in Honolulu or Moloka'i of more than 10 knots. |
