Ebbie, thank you for your input. I will take a look at the Sundowner a bit more then. I am not looking at competition at this point in my life, just some fun once I am a capable pilot again. Though, that might be fun to consider in the future ast some amateur/basic level.
One of my concerns about all of this is the avialablitlity of parts on foreign aircraft here in the US...
Thank you, Greg.

A Sundowner is a capable tourer with the ability to do loop, rolls etc. for fun but would not do well in even a beginner competition I think.
I was looking at buying one six years ago - in the end I went with an Archer II and no aeros - mainly due to availability of parts.
