How does one go about obtaining an aircraft that can be flown fairly economically about 100 hours per year, carry 4 + bags at least 300nm, and so on and so forth?
Buy a mid time C150. Get a car gas stc. 6 gallons per hr at 2.50/gallon. Rent a tie down at a grass strip and insure it. Most tie down strips will have access to an a&p mech who will either do you annuals of sign them off after you do it.
