Cessna 150 seems to be the most affordable metal aircraft. What is the second most affordable?
The Cessna 150 seems to be the most affordable all metal, single engine, electric start GA aircraft. What is the second most affordable?
Cherokee 140, perhaps. Or a C-140, or a Luscombe. Or an Ercoupe.
You said "affordable." That might mean just a beater, or one with a history of damage or neglect. In the long run, none of those may be cheapest. If you'd consider Experimentals, you can get much-newer machinery. Look at the LSAs (if you want ready-to-fly) or at used kit-built airplanes from Zenith or Czech Aircraft Works or Murphy Aircraft, or Monnett (Sonex). They're all good. In fact, you probably won't go wrong building a kit from one of those four, and by the time you fly it, you'll know what you're dealing with. You can build a brand-new Sonex, for instance, with an AeroVee engine, for under 25 large. Brand new. Takes about a year of weekends, if you're careful, but not too educated.
