We were about to buy a Cherokee 180… we were both very enthused about it. Did all our homework and due diligence..
It appears per the A&Ps that know it well to be a 10 our of 10 condition. Price is good

Today when she climbed into the plane for the first time, she found it a bit daunting. She’s not athletic and a carries about 25 pounds more than she wishes.
In fact, she did get out without IMO much difficulty…. Was nervous about it…. Her exit technique included, sliding down the step on designated area on her butt… which works
perfectly well.

But to my great disappointment, she’s having second thoughts about us getting this plane.
So I’d like to hear some tips on entrance and exit technique… particularly from someone who at one time might’ve found it a little daunting but I’m fine with it now. Or maybe even a video
