You want something that will land short, fly slow, and land easily in the event of an engine failure. Something cheap but safe and preferably with a steel tube fuselage and a full enclosure (high wing). There's usually lots of planes like this on Barnstormers for well under $10k.

This is a two place tandem, and I will plan to convert it to single place to allow more weight for engine and fuel. Looks like the Slingshot will be going away.
