I realize this is a matter of preference but I don?t have any pilots around to bounce off my ideas but I know I can count on the pilots on this site.
I am trying to decide between purchasing a RV4 or RV6; I can?t afford a 7 or 8.
I have 3 children, 2 which enjoy flying. However, 3 children are expensive and cost is a factor for me.
Mission: Mostly local flights just for the joy of flying, occasional trip for a 100 dollar burger, and possibly a 500-600 mile trip once a year.
-Wife wants a side by side. I understand her desire for side/side seating. I am not convinced she will fly enough to justify spending a few thousand more on a RV6. She states she will not fly at all in the back but that could just be emotions speaking.
Question 1: Has your spouse flown as much as planned?
Question 2: Which airplane as a rule of thumb will hold its value for re-sale if that ever becomes an issue?
Question 3: What other factors should I consider?
Thanks in advance
