I am looking into buying the above refrenced Turbo Dakota. I was wanting feed back on the pros and cons from all that are familiar with it.
About Me:
I started my training for private back in September of 2001. I purchased a 74 cesna 172 in October. My father started his training in December of 2001. I recieved my ppl in febuary and now have 85 hours. My father should recieve his ppl at the end of April.
We love the c-172, but when me, my wife, dad, and mom all want to go somewhere we have to dump fuel. So, the main problems I have with the c-172 is that its usefull load does not meet my requirements, amd the cruise speed is a little slow.
Thanks for any input.
Also, I have read that there were overheating problems with this model. I have been looking around to see if an AD took care of this, but I can not find that info either.
