I've been able to fly my new-to-me 6a now for about 16 hours and it is an absolute blast to fly. My drools over the last several years wanting one were well-founded!

A friend and I flew to Half Moon Bay and back yesterday in perfect weather. It was my first chance at seeing the sea level performance (150hp fp cruise prop) and I was airborne at 60kts in roughly 700ft at around 1500lbs. That was by far the most fun takeoff I've ever had. Too bad I don't get quite the same performance at 4700ft lol.

Congrats!

Terrific airplanes. I dearly love my 9A, but I’m still convinced that a good used -6/A is THE price/performance winner in the used GA aircraft category, at least for a ton of people and missions.

I completely agree. Took my wife up in it for the first time last weekend and she had the RV grin the whole flight!

I'm just about to celebrate the 10 year anniversary since I purchased my 6 and it still makes me smile when I open the hangar door!

Every time I fly my 6A that I completed in 2006 I look back at it before I close the hangar door and think how much I love this little airplane.

Nice paint scheme Cole. A great view of Golden Gate!

Thanks Vlad, I need to hop over to the SLC area sometime. Provo will likely be a popular fuel stop for me going east.
