The Pilot's Guide to Affordable Classics

A pilot's desire to own an airplane is a universal one, but purchasing a new one is out of the financial question for most private pilots today. In the pages of The Pilot's Guide to Affordable Classics, 2nd Edition, Bill Clarke offers solutions that enable budget-conscious pilots to fulfill their dreams. Clarke shows prospective used airplane buyers that they need not settle for just any plane... they CAN purchase a classic aircraft at an affordable price. Provided are pre-purchase inspection tips and information on which aircraft to choose and how to find the desired mode. A model-by-model analysis of aircraft by Aeronca, Cessna, Ercoupe, Luscombe, Piper, Stinson and Taylorcraft is offered to the flyer on a budget. Plane reconditioning, maintenance suggestions, avionics descriptions, and explanations of insurance and paperwork are all part of this invaluable reference.
