Nice list of spits sans wings!
For me it probably boils down to (and I haven't seen any NTSB report yet) the fact that a lot of PA-28s (after Cessans) are used for ab-initio training/self fly hire and take a
serious hammering, more expensive types generally do not.
Would be essential to know the history of the aircraft (and whether I had landed it in the past!
)
