So...
I sold my 7EC Champ Monday in order to buy another plane. The owner of the plane I was buying has ghosted me (I get it, I had instant regret selling mine).
I started looking for a GCBC or KCAB as an upgrade for my Champ and ran across a fairly local PA-12.
Being a Champ/Citabria guy (an hour in a J3) I know *nothing* about Pipers but I'm really liking what I've found in my research so far.
It's a 1946 PA-12, 50 hours on a O-290-D2.
My mission is weekend flying with the kids or friends. I'm not a back country guy but there are some grass/dirt ag strips around that I use occasionally. normally I fly off paved runways.
I've read through a good many old threads here. If anyone has any further insight in to Pa-12s I'd love to hear personal experience and advice.
Thank you!
