The new Cessna’s, Beech and Piper are fat though. They have grown as fast as the population has put on excess weight. The earlier aircraft with the engine upgrades seem to be the hot ticket. A U206G with an IO-550 would be way better to me than a T206H.
That’s why things like the PA24 Comanche are really hard to beat.
what about a sling tsi?

Rather puts the lie to those saying you can’t operate foreign registered aircraft in the US.
Here is a short video on the mods on the Backcountry 182 featured in the videos. I understand two up, half fuel it should operate Ok out of 300m if surface is OK. Interestingly it doesn’t have the upgraded Airglas nose fork.
These mods plus an airglas nose fork and a PPonk engine on a 182A or B with a trimmable tailplane, would make a serious practical Backcountry tourer.
The BRS option is only available for the models after 1964.

I hear you can fit a 7.00-6 nose wheel tire on a Cessna HD fork, even though you are only really supposed to put a 6.00-6 tire on there. Interesting cheat for a standard fork is the 380 × 150 / 15 × 6.00 – 5 Goodyear Tyre 6 ply which gives a bit for bang for the buck if you are flying under the radar.
That one looks nice:
Well, it is written VNE = 155 kts.
If you look for a 150kts airplane, maybe there are better options .
May I plug this one?

Please put for-sale items in the Marketplace. At least that supports EuroGA.
