Life after C182

[C_Parker]

For you guys who have owned 182's, and found yourself wanting better speed and handling but not necessarily more full fuel useful load, what aircraft did you end up with?

 

[Topper]

I have a share of a Cessna 400 and a 310.

 

[Nick Pilotte]

As someone in market and finding the 182 didn’t quite meet my needs, I’m drawn to the Mooney Ovation.....

 

[Sinistar]

I know 2 that went to Bo's...and what will surly be seen as blasphemy...one wants his 182 back

The 3rd one I know of went Centurion. All got pretty good money for the 182s so that didn't suck.

Next plane, usually a Bonanza and sometimes a Cirrus.

A Cessna 208 would meet all of your speed and payload needs. Plenty roomy. Good short field performance.

Skywagon ofcourse.

Unless you’re putting it on floats you’d be better off with a PC12

 

[wheaties]

Anything made by SpaceX. I hear they're taking deposits.

But seriously, Cirrus.

 

[Geosync]

Or 210.

I sold my 182 and bought a Bonanza.
