Hello, looking for advice on used aircraft selection. I would like to start flying
again and want to buy my own plane but I havent decided which one would best
suit my needs. My first considerations are:
The price, I need to stay around $20,000 more or less
A good safety record
Economical to own and operate, about 5gph or so
Suitable for aerial photography
Suitable for an occasional cross county trip
If my budget were not so limited I would also add:
Baggage capacity about 150lbs
A setup for rough field use
A reasonable cruise speed
A Glastar would be great but I only have a Cessna 150 budget.
However I have limited knowledge of what might be available and would appreciate
any input from this group.
Thanks, Rick

if you are looking for a 2 place plane, i recommend you look at the
mustang II. it's an all metal, homebuilt that carries 2 and
baggage. i have seen a couple for sale around $25,000 in trade-a-
plane. they had a lycoming 0-320 that you can get fuel burn down to
about 6.5 or 7 gph while getting over 150 mph cruise. they have an
excellent safety record.
good luck in your quest, hope you find the perfect airplane.
