I have a 170B with a sportsman stol, wondering how it compares to a stock pa-12-135 with flaps as far as landing and takeoff?
I like the 170 and where it can go on 26s but it’s pretty boring to fly otherwise. It gets into the gravel bars and mountain tops I like to go decently well.
I found a PA-12 for 65k that the fuselage and fabric were redone and painted about 8 years ago, pa-18 stabs and feathers, and is on 31s. Thinking it might be a good platform to eventually put a 160 hp on.
