To All Members,
    I still have about two years before my project (modified Glass Goose)
    is ready to fly.
    I can't wait any longer; as I'm tired of renting. I am looking for an
    interim plane that is
    currently flying. My requirements are: two place & fast, tri-gear &
    fast, all metal & fast,
    O-320 (150 HP or 160 HP) & fast, sleek looking & fast; get the idea? My
    choice at this
    time is the Smythe Sidewinder. I would appreciate hearing from anyone
    who knows where
    I can purchase one. Thanks!

    I'll second that! Though metal is optional. We're 90% done with our
    Lancair ES but I'm flying commercially several times a week all of a
    sudden
    and I NEED MY OWN PLANE NOW! Current default is a Bellanca, though very
    open to suggestions. Minimum speed at least 160kts, max price around
    $75k.
    Rotary a serious plus!

Was that TAS or indicated. At what altitude? What range? One stop can
ruin a lot of kts. I am building an experimental Viking (Compound turbo
rotary powered). My main ride right now is a Bellanca 260. IO-470-F a
bit faster than the Viking because of weight, service ceiling 20,000'. I
wanted to keep it until the experimental was done so I knew where
everything went, but I also want to get the experimental done. Your
choice of a Bellanca is a good one. best price per knot there is.
