Great reply, Andy.
My comment was mostly tongue-in-cheek and you are right. Though I am no huge fan of the short-wing Pipers, there is a guy in Newnan, GA who is building up some stretched Pacers and equipping them for STOL work. I need to check in on them.
Beyond that, We moved from a PA-12-150 to an M-7-235. Though she is a hungry wench, she makes a great traveling plane for the places we like to go, and we can take everything we need. In fact, I'm making a Bahamas run on Wednesday. Far better than making that rip in the Cub.
Hate dealing with brokers

I hear ya there, Scott. I used to have a highly-modified PA-12-150. Great Alaska backcountry machine, but sloooow...StuporRocket wrote: We moved from a PA-12-150 to an M-7-235.

My M-6-235 is much better for almost everything.

My old PA-11-90 was even slower than my old droop tipped J5/PA-12. hybrid
The 12 would get up to 85 mph with a flat prop. The 11 was a 75 mph bird.
My darn C-172 on floats only cruises at 85 knots max. Usually 75-80 if I have a normal engine rpm.
