Looking at planes... I had an arctictern...never felt overly co portable in a tail wheel even though its suppose to be an easy one (a bit of squealing and smoke a few times).
It's been 7 years since I sold it to move...
I am in a position to look at a few planes to replace it... I've found a few Pacers (some really well equipped, some with skins and floats, 3 sedans I might be able to afford, some with floats and some stock without (Lower priced) and a few fairly stock 170bs..
I know the Pacers have a rep for a handful on the ground...
The sedan and pacer seem to have to useful load edge...the 170 Bd sedan the ground handling edge..
The 170 and sedans a bit more cost up front.
Given that I am going to get a thorough check out/biannual prior to flying....which would you choose and why?
