I often see post for "WTB 6A, 7A or 9A" and as a former poster of this myself (two RV's ago) I want to share an opinion: If you are asking for this, you really don't know what you want. These are three different planes with three different price ranges. You should first establish your budget, then decide your requirements (engine/prop, steam/glass, avionics, Hours). Then look for the best example in your price range. Yes, the price ranges overlap, but your requirements do not. A 7A that sells in the 6A range is not the same plane as a similarly priced 6A. It will be a poor example of a 7A or one at TBO priced against a high-end 6A. The 9A has a different wing, so is a completely different plane with a different mission from the 6A and 7A - leaving the aerobatic factor out. If cheep cross country flying is your mission, the 7A won't compete with the 9A. If fuel consumption is not a factor, the 7A will out-perform the other two.
