btw, what would you say the typical cruising speed of the single-engine is, preferrably the 4 (or even 6) place birds? the cessnas seem pretty slow. i don't know specs on the others?
what about the multiengine, like the cessna 310? i assume that's another can of worms with the faa, and definitely not a starter
what about something like these?

basically, in reference to size, type & age. i imagine an older plane would still be a good purchase, as long as it was well cared for.
