Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 14,785 Likes: 545 | Well, it's a done deal. I bought a beautiful Cherokee 180 with a three year old paint job, and three year old interior. A Garmin Gnc 255, Narco mark 12D, Dual glide slope, Garmin 327 transponder, Century 1 wing leveler. I'm kinda pleased.
The cooler part is the seller was looking for a plane to downsize to that his kids could learn to fly. He had the Cherokee I wanted, and I had the 150 he wanted. We worked out a trade and finished the deal today.
Extra credit goes to Mike Nass who was able to give some guidance in the process as we did this in his hangar at Clinton Iowa. A nice half way point for buyer and seller.
It's been a very good day.
Jim OUTSTANDING!

Next favorite is the Archer/180, which is a very nice X-C machine, just enough performance with a great fuel burn and you eliminate the maintenance of retractable gear and a constant speed prop. Coming off owning a 150, you’re gonna love the speed and range it has.
