But just pulling back a little from fantasy and into the world of reality (ie well out of the bath and dried off).....
If you are Scrooge McDuck and don't mind no aerobatics, the Jodels continue to offer the best flying for the least money. I had a quarter of a DR1050 Ambassadeur for 10 years and it was excellent for touring. 120mph on an O-200, 3 adults or 2+baggage, good short field performance, stick & tailwheel. By no means a fantasy machine but I still regret parting with it.
