Some years ago I had a Seguin sp? Geronimo conversion of the Piper Apache. It has a pointed nose, square wing tips , square tail and 180 H.P. 0-360 Lyc.s
It was the best trainer that I have used, the rate of climb on one was 500 F.P.M. and there was no VMC.
The only negative I found was the relatively slow cruise speed of 140 knots.
Look in Trade a Plane as they are sometimes advertised there and the price is quite reasonable.
