   I have been considering the purchase of an inexpensive airplane for the
   purpose of building up experience (the hours that insurance companies
   like to see). The Piper Tri-Pacer looks like a good candidate as they
   can be had for less than $10,000. i would like to hear from anyone who
   has had experience with the Tri-Pacer. Are they dependable (assuming I
   get one in decent shape)? Are there any idiosycracies I might need to
   know about?

   I would like to hear any other recommendations for a first plane and 
   why. I'll save space on the net by telling you up front that I am not
   interested in C-150's or Tomohawks. I KNOW what kind of abuse they are
   put through. 

   Thanks in advance.
