'Hi my name is Scott. Located in Bloomer, Wisconsin. Looking to buy a 4
place airplane, and my list is narrowed down to a Fairchild 24 (Ranger)
or a Stinson 108-3. 2 seats aren't enough when everyone wants to go to
the fly in breakfasts
What should I be looking for in the way of caveats in the F24 series?
What is maintenance like? What is considered a "midtime" engine time
for the 200 HP Rangers? Can a guy get those rebuilt anywhere for a
reasonable price?
Looking forward to learning more about the Fairchilds. ( Really like
the F22's as I'm a parasol guy...)
