Need a different plane


Recommended Posts

I looked up the Cessna TR182, and it's a no go.  My wife won't fly behind a carburettor.  As one can't run it LOP, it's very inefficient.  I think we may need to limber up, and stay with a perfect Mooney.  No other plane can use a 1200 ft grass strip, and cruise in the flight levels at 170kts or better.

A Cessna 177RG with the same engine only gets about 135kts, compared to my 170kts at altitude.  If I can find one with turbo, it would be a contender.  I don't want less performance, so I'm thinking more of a T210 or P210.  I've had a good report on Dan Howard.

The Cardinal TN is a pretty good performer.  Website not so great....

Def easier to get in and out than 182.

Consider the a Silver Sneakers classes at the local gym...

You May find some interesting people with similar challenges you are seeing...

the response to exercise and increased blood flow can be amazing...

especially if you have a J-bar Mooney...

:)

PP thoughts only, not a gym rat...

Best regards,
