That’s what I thought when buying a 210 (io-550), but the practical 182 for me in a Alaskan mission outweighed my get their fast of the 210. Still have both but flying the 210 down south and putting up for sale soon. Don’t want to but lots of $$$ tied up. I wish I could keep both but need to...

The baggage compartment is restricted to 120lbs, which might be the limiting factor. Not necessarily the baggage space, as you could load above the wheel well too. The 3rd row seats are in front of the wheel well. Loading a 210 outside of the CG range would be a challenge, the CG envelope is...

Here is a video of a 210. I agree back seats aren’t the biggest. Great place for the smallest two on the plane. Fast, easy platform to fly and I don’t have to load over a wing. I have the IO-550 and flight plan for 165kts and 17 gal per hour ROP. The plane has 1503 lbs useful load. Almost...

Very cool man, around the world in a Avgas 182 here we come. Look forward to the stories.

I will stick with foreflight too. Played with Gamin pilot. Went right back to FF. Still have the subscription, but it will likely get canceled on renewal. Even with the free IFR upgrade with my Garmin One-pack subscription. I’m with you, I don’t want to learn a new program. Plus, I’m happy...

When we traveled for sports back in high school. We would load up in the 207s and tail would drop, pilot would hop in. The plane wouldn’t drop on its nose wheel until the pilot fired up the engine. Pretty impressive plane tho. Lots in operation in bush Alaska as air taxis.

Spaceballs, been a while.

This^^^ You pay a bunch more for a 210 VS Cardinal. Also the OP was looking for a 150hp without retracts???

If you come across a 182 that could true out at over 160kts let me know. What about the two extra seats in the later models, hardly a strut-less 182, IMO. In my NA 210M, with the IO-550, I flight plan for 160kts @ 17gph 75-100° ROP. 1503lbs useful. Most of my flights are 305NM “A-B” and it’s...

Yes, advertise mini size with iPad sized screen. A win for pilots.

I was hoping they would keep the 9.7” screen but make the bezel smaller. Look like they kept the size and expanded the screen.

No kidding what a bummer. Hoping just not ready. They did introduce a USB-c on the iPad Pro https://www.apple.com/apple-events/?&cid=wwa-us-kwgo-features---slid-&mnid=s2n2MNzNP-dm_mtid_20925e1t39169_pcrid_306414753319_&muid=4060EB02-8089-4D9B-BB4C-DF8153FAD4BE&mtid=20925e1t39169&aosid=p238

It can’t even be a fraction of the unleaded impact on the environment. How about the lead acid batteries in every rig? I throw away at least 15 every year through my fleet. I like to burn AVgas... I guess I am extra bad for the environment. That said if I could get a affordable diesel in my...

That will burn a little more fuel and a engine that cost more then the plane, ouch. Would love to have one and be able to afford one.

Sweet thanks for posting.
