Have no facts and figures to back this up but perhaps someone does.The Cherokee Six seems to be the one more mentioned than others in light aircraft crash reports.Maybe I'm wrong.Maybe it's harder or different to fly,especially in emergencies.

It's easy to overload. A lot of operators have tried full load and full fuel. Otherwise just another Cherokee. Look at the spars and look for corrosion.
