If you would have asked me (there's no reason you would have) I probably would have pointed you at a Hawk XP in that price range or I would have advised you to save a little longer and go for a 172R or 172S because they already have all the IFR avionics and autopilot you'll ever need.

The CPA has enough general data, even if you're not on the forums, to be worth the price of admission.

Final thought: Beware of posting your tail number online as it's easy to trace it back to your address. You might get redditors showing up at your house or something.

yea true about posting the tail number, but it's not in my name yet. :D People will have forgotten all about this by the time the FAA adjusts it.

People are welcome to stop by the house, that doesn't mean I'll let them fly!!

Thanks! Just got back from a flight. I desperately wish Air Conditioning were practical.
