I mostly track 172s, so maybe it’s a model thing...
And maybe it is. Cessna model 172s are popular for many reasons.
172s are popular largely because almost all civilians learn to fly in Cessnas. After I had a few hundred hours in hang gliders and ultralights I took the lessons to get my Private Pilot’s license in Cessnas. But I already had a lot of time in my friend’s various classic planes as well, so my mind was open to other types of aircraft.
You will pay a price if you do not look into other types of aircraft.
