Hi Everyone,
I have been looking into the possibility of purchasing a Warrior II or Archer II in the next couple of years and was wondering what the realistic cruise speed of each would be. The POH of a Warrior II says 127 as a cruise, but I know that is probably inflated.
1) What is the realistic cruise of a Warrior II?
2) What is the realistic cruise of an Archer II?
3) Is the extra 2 GPH worth it to have an Archer? What are the benefits of the Archer other than climb performance?
4) Is the cabin bigger in an Archer II?
My typical mission would probably be mostly 2-300 Miles with one large trip a year (~7-800 each way). I am a flatlander so Density Altitude is probably not too much of a concern for me.
Thanks for the help and I would appreciate any insight you may have!
