Yep, I plan on renting out a PA-28 until I get my license in about four months, though I might buy (and store) before then if I find a good deal. In any case I've broken down the costs of ownership (insurance, annuals, gas, etc ...) to between $6-$8k per year which works well for me.
Now I suppose (if the 172 and 152 by extension is trash) I can narrow it down between the Mooney M20A's to M20E's, a PA-28-140, PA-28-150, a PA-28-160, a PA-28-180, and the PA-18 series.
I'd get a C182, but that almost seems like too much plane for me. If I'm not flying with heavy loads then I'm guessing that burns fuel worse than 9/11.

/n/ is dead no one post there. Aircraft have more in common with cars than bikes.

Ignore this user, if you want to fly cheap a proven experimental is the only way
plans for pic can be purchased for $100 www.pietenpolaircraftcompany.com
remember that in the cost of every production general aviation aircraft are widows of sugar daddies who've sued Cessna, piper or cirrus because their husband decided to fly in bad weather without IFR qualifications, don't be put off by the price
but keep in mind that these sort of planes have their shortcomings too, and that usually comes down to the quality of build or skill of the pilot

Will an experimental work if I'm on a budget and want to fly over mountainous terrain or distances of 1,500 miles from time to time?

It's okay Alan. No need to act like you're black on some Tibetan basket weaving forum

I know this is a bait thread, but it only cost me around ~$8k to get my pilot license including renting fees and all that shit, this was at a part 142 school though so I had to do less hours, but still.
And yeah, ONLY $8,000, but it's way cheaper than fucking buying one wtf.

Thats kinda cool, instead of buying a car I'd probably get a pilots license.
