I've racked my brain searching the net and multiple trade-a-planes, and so far I like the Mitsubishi Mu-2's and the Cessna 421's the best. I would prefer a high wing, as I fly in Alaska (and beyond). Although, this isn't a must.
I like the idea of low operating costs from a single engine, although the ones capable of +300mph are usually double-over $500K, or they are rather small and don't have the best range. I'm hoping you can tell me I've missed something... The Lancair IV looks wonderful, although rather small for international trips.
Range is most important. Payload is second, because I would be able to increase the range if needed. This is why I would prefer the two mentioned first, before something like a Lancair IV.
Thanks!
