What's your choice?

Only one, and it's got to be piston?

Mmmmm... one of the new Maule taildraggers. With one of their high-end IFR
panels. And all those extra windows & skylights, for when you're not using
the IFR stuff for IFR!

Hey, I can dream...

Brian.

Just hand be the keys to a new Mooney Ovation 2 GX with the Garmin G1000
glass cockpit. Add the O2 system, the known icing system, and every other
option on the list.

The Porsche of airplanes: Mooney...

A Christen Eagle, please.

The most expensive one on the market, which i would promptly sell and buy a
172 or something.. may splurge on a 206 (gently used), and keep remaining
proceeds in a maintenance/upgrade account for the airplane... (but i do
think the Diamond TwinStar looks linke a darned cool machine... that or a
Lake Renegade.)

Oh, changed my mind - Murphy Moose, on floats. It's like a mini-Beaver.

Confidence is the feeling you have before you understand the situation.

GA-8 Airvan, which I would promptly take down to Lopresti's son's shop
and ask them to seal the gaps, add some fairings and give me a few
more knots.

Regarding my earlier post taking my new Airvan to Lopresti's shop,
do ya' think that they would laugh out loud if if we arrived with
amphib floats bolted to the bottom of the airframe?

Lemme see now....

1.) New, piston-driven airplane.
2.) Third wheel in the back.
3.) Center stick.
4.) Gotta be worth flying (i.e., +5/-3 g's at a minimum).
5.) Round engine would really be nice, too (it's gotta make the right
noises).
6.) Canopy for visibility.

You guys can have the plastic airplanes.... they're fast, but not FUN.
Looks like I'll be getting a Yak 52TW. :-)

If you fly the airplane the same way you drive the elevator, you are
not a pilot.
