I expect to have my private pilot license in a few months. I am 61, fit and in great health. I may buy a Skybolt, Starduster, or yet to be determined, airplanein a year or so, after I have completed tail dragger training,done much research and enlisted the help of an experienced pilot to advise me during my search for an airplane.
My goal is to obtain the best2 place aircraft I can find for about 50k that is good for short cross country and occassional loops, rolls, etc.
I am interested in advice and opinions anyone would care to give me concerning the best aircraft for me.
Yes, I know I am new to the pilot world, do not have several thousand hours of flight time and probably should be more concerned about retirement funds than flying off into the sunset with my wonderful wife in a gorgeous open cockpit biplane, our scarves trailing in the wind. But, as you've heard before, life is short. (No, I do not want to make it shorter.)
Thank you for your time.
