Size Comparison...not what you're thinking!

Needed to buy the Super D before the Mrs wants children, I assume I won't be buying anything else for next 22 to 30 years ;-) Now I've got a month to finish replumbing the whole house myself otherwise she says it's getting sold and plumber gets called...

My first complex time was in an Arrow.  It was  a 120-130knot airplane and seemed "fast" compared to a 172 or Cherokee.  The Mooney is a 130-150 knot airplane.  I will defer to Arrow II users in comparison to the F&G Models...My son is just under 6 feet.  He rides up front and "girls" wife and daughter fly in back seat.  As stated any panel can be "made what you want".With Mooney out there the Arrow just wasn't in the game for me.  The fact that you are having a hard time deciding says to me that speed is NOT the primary mission...because if it was as well as build quality and flying characteristics the F&G are superior in a Mooney vs. Piper IMO based on use.

To sum it up I would NEVER buy an Arrow over an F or G Mooney....EVER.
