Got my private rating in a Cherokee 140 and have flown 180s as well, they all fly really great. I almost bought a Warrior once, but it ended up falling through because they wouldn't budge on the price and the thing needed paint and interior badly.

Just remember to switch tanks during flight

Sweet!

I flew one of those while taking lessons back in '86. It was August and the density altitude here was too high to fly the 152 with 2 big guys and a full tank. What a difference from 110 hp to 180. I'm envious!

Congrats...nothing like your first plane.

1150 UL is nice. My Sundowner is 895 so it sometimes a challenge at our atl and heat to take friends.

Enjoy and be safe and keep the dirty side down.

Wait..what!?!?! No, that can't be!

I had the 430 in mine and I loved it! I have lot's of time in a T210 and a 310 with the 530; not sue I'd spend the extra money over the 430 for my needs. I'd give the advantage to the 530 in IFR. In my TR182 I had a 430 with an MX20...GREAT for IFR.

UCGC, what antenna do you use with Garmin 430? Is it tri-band or single units for each function?

If you are looking for a portable then the 496 is a great option. If you do not plan on flying IFR or in weather then the 495 is the same as the 496 minus the XM stuff.

I love my 496.

If your talking the club into a panel mount, go the 430W route. Little cheaper and does all the 530W does with a smaller screen.

Wait..what!?!?! No, that can't be!

Nice ride jjeaster I'm a partner in a Cherokee 140... Great little economical birds... Love em'

Pay attention to the stab bearings! If they start to get loose, they go bad VERY quickly
