User popularity level:  out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Great book
This book goes into graet detail on the the pros and cons of differetn years and models. It really helped me in selecting a plane for purchase.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - very helpful
this book is a great guide for anyone playing with the thought of owning a small airplane. the prices may not be totally up to date, but the aircraft are still the same



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - The best $20 you'll ever spend on aviation...
I found Mr. Ellis' book in a local bookstore shortly after starting my private pilot training, based on my eventual desire to buy my own plane. The book reads quickly and combines a perfect blend of hard facts and anecdotal material to really define the issues a prospected buyer needs to focus on.

I pretty much devoured the book in a few days and referred back to it -- especially for the invaluable aircraft model summaries -- until I concluded that a Cardinal RG was the right plane for me. Using the "Selecting Your Airplane" chapter, I found my perfect bird after using Mr. Ellis' expertise to eliminate many contenders.

The book is AWESOME and, having read most of what is out there on this subject, the best I have found.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Great summary of main airplanes & the key purchase criterion
I've looked at all the books I can find to learn about high performance singles that can carry 4 people plus lots of stuff for adventure flying. This book shows performance specifications, and summarizes the other considerations of each model, including durability, flying & landing characteristics, and maintenence issues. I liked that it covered all the major Cessnas, Pipers (including the 6 & Saratoga) and also some Grummans, Beechcrafts, Mooney's, Maules, a taildragger section & more (over 50 models in all).

Also good summary of Partnership issues, Home field selection, defining the airplane's mission, Insurance & Maintenence.

If you're looking for your very first airplane to own, I'd recommend this book!



Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - Somewhat dated but still valuable information for a buyer.
For those that are thinking of buying their own airplane, this book provides valuable information on what to look for in a plane, hidden costs of ownership, Government blue tape, recommendations on aircraft for beginners, and advise on determining the real condition of the aircraft before it is purchased.
