Ghengis,
usually 2 of us, but what is a CT anyway? Have not come across that one yet.
yes, the Arrow III/IV will do the trick, but are on the expensive side.
Currently there is a M20C and a Cherokee 140/150 in the closer consideration plus an Arrow II, all of which are 50 USG planes but have the advantage of fitting into the budget. Yea, I could wait and "save up" but somehow I believe if I'll do much more of that, I'll hang it up eventually before I get there. Renting has never been my piece of cake, nor sharing.
Also the fact that basically no advertized planes come with Mode S and the new ELT make for an additional dent in the budget as they will set one back at least 10k Euros (with install and EASA paperwork).
Best regards
