. You'd need to be prepared for the higher cost of operation, including annuals.
Thats an interesting thought, yes, there are a few more AD's on a 172, but essentially, its a big 150, it shouldn't be all that much more to look after, especially if you get an 0-320, just stay away from H2AD version...... as far as the operation goes, I guess i's 'horses for courses' in that regard, the extra 8-10 lts per hour isn't that much when you consider the utility aspects of a 172 - of course, like anything, you have to use them once in a while to make them pay-off
The 0-300 is a nice sounding, smooth running engine (when its working well), but 'I' would prefer a Lyc engine all the same (just not the H2AD one)
