Gotta include the Mooney M20C or M20E in the best bang for the buck category. I did my primary and commercial training in low wings, transitioning into my M20C was smooth. Johnson bar fully mechanical gear is extremely reliable and cheap to maintain vs any other complex aircraft.... 50% faster than a 172 on the same fuel burn and built like a tank.
I’ve flown Piper Cherokee, Archer, Cessnas 150,172 but nothing compares to the Diamond Da40 it’s amazing over all. Way more cooler airplane it just feels right. As far as the price I haven’t found a G1000 in the 100s only 6 pack versions.
I love this. Super helpful as I’m starting the information gathering portion of plane buying. It’s so difficult to find one that does everything you want. The
Texas Tyranny Response Team I certainly appreciate your opinion. I do plenty of research on my own and would NEVER base my decision on just one person’s opinion, however I do believe Mike does make some good videos with good information.
Skankhunt 42 well I have a wife and kid so 4 seats is a must. Obviously I’d like something relatively fuel efficient. I’m a low time pilot needing to build hours, but this will be a long term plane for us so something a little quicker would be nice for traveling. I’d like an autopilot and relatively low engine time so I’m not immediately taking it in for overhaul (unless the price reflects the need form a new engine). I’m learning there’s a lot of planes out there but not one meets everything so I’m still figuring out needs vs wants. I’ve been leaning towards a Comanche, but would need to get my complex endorsement and swallow the higher insurance costs.
Love the videos but using miles per hour for aviation videos is a bit of a head scratcher. Even for non pilots, we need for them to get used to using knots. We haven't used the mph groundspeed system for decades in aviation.
It's a gimmick.. Mph is used more so by light sport and experimental guys to make the numbers look better.. He is into the home made craft which have lots to offer but I agree mpa is a gimmick
Come on bro, for guys like me a knot is something you use on a ship rope, also I am in metric [Aussie] yet our US brothers are still in feet n inches; the MPH helps me until I get used to converting or untying knots lol
My bonanza was under $100k when I bought it with a new engine (high performance), modern avionics, faster (172kts), better fuel burn (12.5gph) and higher useful load(1200lbs) than any of these trainer planes. This isn’t a great list. What about a mooney m20? Other Bonanzas? Cessna 210’s? Etc?
You also forgot the Piper Sport / Cruiser would love to see some used and affordable ones. Also if you have any buddies at Microsoft and Asobo can you tell them to include these aircrafts in the new MS Flight Simulator 2020... Thank you.
DA40 for under $100k? Maybe a timed out one, and maybe one with a questionable history. Nothing from Piper - a bit disappointed to be honest - instead you chose a Beech Sundowner, which is almost like a Piper copycat (albeit with two passenger doors).
The only DA 40s going under 100k are either really, really rough and beyond TBO, or are the ones with the original panels which many Americans found uncomfortable. I owned the original panel, and had no issues with it, but it was hard to sell. I also did not have issues with climb speed or over heating while living on the gulf coast. I don’t know where that comes from. At this point, and with government having gone crazy, I would NOT feel very safe with any of the planes from the 70’s and earlier from a financial point of view. They could inspection requirement or otherwise regulate your model into being impossible to sell or keep flying. I know the old trainers have held their value for years, but so had the high performance planes until the tax changes under financial stress of the 2000’s. Those planes found a new, lower level, and so could any of them.
I watch a lot of these videos and every time I check prices he claims you can buy these at I go look up the ones I like he's off by a factor of three or four times
I will use this vid to ask a question Does anyone have any experience or thoughts on a Bellanca Super Viking? I know the company is not around but from a price standpoint it fits in this category.
Only bad thing about a jabiru is that it has a jabiru in it !!! A man down here in Tx changed his junker 200tt Jabby out for a ul350is. And he loves it. The reason he likes the plane is the space where the rear seats go. They travel with 2 dogs 😎
I love watching your stuff but this video is a little sloppy. I get that these will get you the views but more research should be done and not pick your top 5 based on planes you’ve recorded in the past. Also, your description says top 5 experimental planes for under $100k but these are all certified. A Cessna 152 does not compare at all to a Mooney m20c in performance. What about the piper comanche? A Mooney and Comanche can all be had for under $100k with much better performance than any of these. Only calling you out cause I want to see you do better!
coolhari2000 I have no problem with that. His video isn’t reviewing new planes. The sundowner and Cessna 152 are being reviewed and still over 30 years old. My main point is that mojo is recommending people these planes just because he has footage for them rather than assessing them for what he claims is price/performance.
Hey Mike, are you finding the insurance rates becoming increasingly expensive? Do you know of insurance companies that can give new pilots rates that are somewhat affordable? It seems the insurance is becoming less affordable especially for new pilots?
Try the AOPA. They have an online rate quoting system, although, it took them a week to get back to me with a quote. Not sure if you're taking owner or renter insurance rates. I had them run the cost of a 2-seater RV-14A amateur-built (NOT an LSA). For my experience (NOT a low-time pilot - ATP, career pilot) the annual rate was just under $2000.
That Diamond DA40. WTF do I need to run this company for them? Bigger engine please. 500ft per minute is not acceptable not close. Also 600 mile range. Horrible. That plane needs more power and tanks to get down. Yes burn goes up from 9 ph.... I'm willing to pay that.

What are you looking for, I’m not a professional broker but I could probably get you on the right track with some ideas

@@HoosierPilot what is your price range
@@harrisonbritt6681 I would say 65k and under.
The 172M is a beast. Love her. Almost done with my PPL. Just need to complete my solo long cross country.
nice!
3 years in the making now, how'd that cross country go?? Are you still flying today?
Nothing from the Piper family? Not even the Arrow?
You forgot the Piper Cherokee, Archer, and Arrows.
I really want to get myself an Arrow, overhaul the panel, and take it to Oshkosh
Hi Mike, great video, please make a video about commander 114 or Bellanca Viking, thanks
happy new month

Mike I would love to see you review the JMB VL3 Evolution again or the Flight Design F2
Thanks. I'm really interested

How the heck did you find a Bonanza with a new engine and modern avionics for less thank $100k?
How did you find a bonanza for half of market value?
Maybe a timed out one with a questionable history.
@@coolhari2000 keep an eye out. They are out there. Took about a year of looking
@@maclover4321 there are a few videos on my UA-cam channel
Thanks Mike I appreciate the videos.
Are there any planes available for less than $300 and a couple of weeks of house work?
You also forgot the Piper Sport / Cruiser would love to see some used and affordable ones. Also if you have any buddies at Microsoft and Asobo can you tell them to include these aircrafts in the new MS Flight Simulator 2020... Thank you.
The 7-8 gph on the 150 is at full power a cruise at 2500 rpm and I get about 5.5 honest close to about 110mph
Can you do one on canard planes?
DA40 for under $100k? Maybe a timed out one, and maybe one with a questionable history. Nothing from Piper - a bit disappointed to be honest - instead you chose a Beech Sundowner, which is almost like a Piper copycat (albeit with two passenger doors).
Sundowner is actually a great plane, under powered yes.
I agree with you on the da40 though, they're about $250k.
I know of a 2002 DA40 that sold for exactly $99k needed a little TLC to bring it up to speed but I thought it was a steal.
Yeah, I thought the same thing, but I just found a 2001 DA40-180 for $99K on controller...
Holy smokes, Mike & Brian are right - There's 1 out there for $99k - half time engine, great avionics too. DAMN!!!!
coolhari2000 Now I just need the $100k...
Cessna 175 Skylarks from the 1970s can be very cheap sometimes
those times being before 2017
Nice list Mike
is it possible for you to do a review of one of the composite-fx helicopters?
Thanks Mike 👍🏻👍🏾
Mooney!!
Mike, diamond DA42. Seeing prices in the 500,000 range for a twin....
Ian: keep up the good work
Where did you get your pilot license?
How about a mighty luscombe?
Can you give me your input about hawker 800A
Fantástic Mike, great form Brazil ...

How can I reach you for information about my future airplane.

The T-51 mustang
I will use this vid to ask a question
Does anyone have any experience or thoughts on a Bellanca Super Viking?
I know the company is not around but from a price standpoint it fits in this category.
Great performer, fast not a beginner friendly bird. I think it has a soft/wood canopy.
Steel tube fuselage, wood wing. Lots of FAA ADs on them. Cool plane, but I'd stay clear.
Only bad thing about a jabiru is that it has a jabiru in it !!! A man down here in Tx changed his junker 200tt Jabby out for a ul350is. And he loves it. The reason he likes the plane is the space where the rear seats go. They travel with 2 dogs 😎
Agreed, Jabiru engines do not have a good reputation in Europe either.
I've never seen a DA40 going for less than 100k, and that goes back 10 years. Prices are inflated now
yeah. I'm in the market right now. it's insane. 2007 da40 xl 1200TT $299k. 2008 xls 850tt $380k

Maybe do electric airplanes
Back in 1985 you could buy a nice tank for a case or two of vodka.
There is no way you can find a Da40 for that price
Am I the only one who is in love with Searey planes?
It seems to be a nice little LSA. $169,000.
Piper Cherokee- or a 6 seater plane
DA40 has 300hp??????
Hey Mike, are you finding the insurance rates becoming increasingly expensive? Do you know of insurance companies that can give new pilots rates that are somewhat affordable? It seems the insurance is becoming less affordable especially for new pilots?
Nearly 40 fatalities per month in GA in the US lately, not surprising insurance costs are rising.
I feel your pain dude, insurance is fucking over GA, you're looking at $3-4k for a cheap plane.

Da40 for less than $100k? I don't think so
Oh im back
Da 40 is 180 hp. No way under 100,000. Unless it crashed
✌✌🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿
da40 = only concrete landing :/
300 HP engine on the Diamond DA40 ?
180 HP
At 7:48 the text says its Continental 300hp.
