January 25, 20224 yr Could not believe the price! Interesting that just about the only buyers are flight schools. Still looks the same as previous versions. I love it because it is the only aircraft I fly IRL, but the one I hire is a lot older, and does not have an autopilot which is a pain on longer flights. Cheers.

January 25, 20224 yr If you put it online at a school it would probably earn its keep. Bear in mind pricing for a new Cirrus SR22 starts at more like $780,000 and a new PA28 Arrow is over $500,000 . Edited January 25, 20224 yr by Glenn Fitzpatrick

Do you realize that you can install a lot of thing in older airplane? For example Dynon in 1968 Bonanza Life time flight sim enthusiast, current airplane owner 172P (past C182F).

We have an owner who leases his 1967 C172h model back to the flight school where I work. He bought the plane used for $36,000….and the proceeded to dump nearly $60,000 in avionics, engine monitor, etc. Once he gets the auto pilot installed, he’ll have a 1967 technically advanced airplane. ….but it’s still a 1967 135hp C172 that cruises at 100 KTAS on a good day 🤷♂️ Chris

For example Dynon in 1968 Bonanza Yeah, but the aircraft I hire is not mine - I hire it from my flying school/club. I think they believe the best way to learn is to hand-fly because none of their aircraft have autopilots. Cheers. Great places to fly in MSFS: https://youtube.com/channel/UCqCzobOlQLeGycCFnavVrPg

The one I fly red lines at roughly 5800 rpms on the crank shaft, but has a reduction gearbox to the constant speed propeller. We don't use PROP RPM as performance reference but manifold pressure + crank shaft RPM. Standard power settings are 27.5/5800 (TO) 27/5500 (CLB) 26/4800 (65% PWR) EASA PPL SEPL + NQ / CB-IR in progress MSFS24 | X-Plane 12
