$5500 for an annual? Holy, what did your A&P do?

I haven't flown more than 20hrs yet since owning it, so no oil consumption yet.

I consider 10 kts relatively close because that's the speed the Bo owner I know said his plane flies at. I think I prefer not having to look down at my wing all the time.

Eating back bacon and drinking beer helps us win Olympic gold in hockey. Women's hockey too.

It's a 1978 "Q" model.

I was wondering if all the 182 owners could "weigh in" (no pun intended) with their empty weights. I bought my 182 last year in North Carolina, and imported it to Canada, where it was again re-weighed for its' import inspection. The airplane was heavily modified in the US before I bought it...

I guess how I should have worded things originally, was...now that I have a high wing airplane (182) that is pretty darn close in numbers to a Bonanza (260-280hp...I don't know Bonanza types, so whatever model fits that HP range) which would people choose? I know a regular 182 doesn't compare...

If you check the numbers on P Ponk's website, and add in all the speed mods available for a 182, basically my 182 is about as fast as a fixed gear 182 can go. So yes, the speed of 150kts is very attainable. I have no regrets about purchasing my 182...I was just wondering how many people would...

I wasn't referring to Beech's gear as being flimsy. Just the overall reliability of a retract vs a fixed gear. Beech gear are very sturdy, no question.

I also flew in the high Arctic in King Air 100's and 200's. The Beechcraft airplanes are very robust, as I know from experience. Couldn't imagine flying there in a single piston pounder!!! LOL!

I mentioned earlier today in my first post that I am the proud owner of a '78 C-182 with the P Ponk upgrade, speed mods, and 3 blade Scimitar prop. Essentially, my 182 is very close in numbers to a V35 Bonanza. My useful is 1200+lbs, and I cruise at 150kts @ 15gph. A fellow pilot friend of mine...

I'm anxious to hear from people regarding this thread too! I get very surprised reactions from other pilots when I tell them the numbers on the airplane. They all say they've never heard of a 182 averaging 145kts, let alone one with 270HP.

Hi gang. It's my first post on here, and am excited to share info about our passion...flying. I am on this forum because I own a 78' C-182Q with the P Ponk upgrade, as well as the Hartzell 3 blade scimitar prop, and speed mods. I have had this airplane for about a year now, and haven't done a...
