Lionel,
I agree with you. It is always a personnal preference when buying
a plane, or anything else for that matter.
I have noticed, more times than I will admit, the "What do you think of this one" question asked on this board that others
have said to leave alone and I would have taken a closser look at.
Let's face it, when buying a plane it is just a crap shoot.
There are no guarantees except the one that says you will spend more $$ once you buy it.
Rob,
It is good to ask about what you should look for as far as known trouble areas.
Just find one you like and go for it!
Ron
