Great cross country flyers. If you can get a 360
you will have more room. The 235s are cramped. It is the same wing
configuration but a larger fuselage and of course the 320 or 360 powerplant.
They cruise between 170 and 200 knots true depending upon HP and extra goodies
and weight. Look for a fully loaded panel 360 under 1220 lbs basic empty
weight. Less if panel is lighter. Anything heavier than the plane
construction is not optimal. A 235 is like getting into a Cessna 150 or
152. After flying the Skylane you might want the extra room.
Pay extra attention to how the airframe is
constructed and be sure all builders logs and foto journal are adequate for you
to retrace construction history and component locations.
Good Luck.
