I found both Sporty's and King's to be very helpful for my PPL and IR tests. I used Sheppard Air for IR, but it was overkill with the other two. I was in upper 80s and low 90s for written tests.

Very similar approach to what I am looking to get, when I get my 182. I will start my buying process in 4'ish months. For education, why are you sticking with Garmin for your GPS/Radio and not Avidyne? Also, is the Dynon GPS in you plane non-IFR due to a lack of Garmin integration or something...

Hmmm besides the normal stuff Glucose tabs (T1 Diabetic), medical grade barf bags (ya never know what people will do) and change of drawers (you said middle age and farts can really do strange things).

That is where I am landing. Thanks everyone for the insight and thoughts.

Thanks for the feedback thus far. @asicer Correct - I am 200lbs, wife 100 and daughter less than, but planning for 100. That leaves 100lbs flex (I pack for 10 people). If I needed to bring 4 I know I would have to adjust, but with 80% of my mission being just the 3 of us, I tried to use that...

I have been lurking and trying to do a lot of research (searching) on potential aircraft to fit my mission. I am about to finish my IFR and will jump into an Arrow II for an endorsement with TAA. Once I complete the endorsement, I hope to get my HP endorsement. So now is time to start thinking...
