ATTENTION ON DECK! It was the master solenoid... Thanks for all the help guys

Hi all, I actually posted this on an old thread and have gotten a few good responses, but hey, the more the merrier so I’ve copied below the issue with my 182.. Sometimes when I turn on the master switch everything starts to spool up but even turning on a landing light shuts everything down...

Ok, I’ll give that a try. The master solenoid did get replaced but still it could be a bad one, I’m thinking possibly bad master switch but prob somewhere I have a bad ground or wire or both

No comparison, test flew a 1966 182 with a buddy of mine last week, we are both big guys I’m 6’6” about 285 he’s 6’1” and as heavy as me. In the 182 we didn’t touch, fast forward 5 days I flew into FLL to ride with him in his Cherokee 180 to sun n fun. God, misery, we felt like sardines in...

Wow, OK, I guess I'll just start checking every wire I can the see if any are loose or corroded. My problem is when I turn on the master everything comes on but the 2nd you try to start the engine or put a heavy load like landing lights, clack! everything goes dark and the gyro start spooling...

I know that this is resurrecting extremely old thread but I have the exact same issue. So in the end was it just a loose electrical ground? Thanks

Oh we have done that, they have flown archers, warriors, which I found out are all the identical size plane just with different motors, and 172’s. We even drove 2 hrs. To sit in a Rockwell commander 112. Which was a cool airplane and roomy but does not have much useful load, and more than one...

Insurance, it Turns out for a bonanza with teenagers that don’t even have a private yet is very ugly. AOPA Quoted me somewhere in the neighborhood of 7000 a year if it could even be done and would probably require the better part of 20 hours of duel before they could solo the plane. Between...

Wow! Both, I’m jealous. Well it seems the crowd agrees with you that the 182 is roomier, and I’m sure cheaper come annual time. The clincher came today when AOPA informed me that insurance would be roughly 7 times that of the 182 for any Bonanza! Ouch. Anyone know a good 182 for sale?

You fit in what, the 182 or the beech?

Thanks for the replies guys, I’ve been looking at planes for a while while renting a local c-172 for the boys. It’s been a long time sense I last flew a bonanza, and it was a 36, freighter, but I remember it being roomy and flew great. I haven’t as of yet got to sit in an older V-tail or...

Hi all, I’m interested in hearing any/all thoughts for teaching two new pilots (my sons, 18-20yrs. Old) in either a C-182 or the plane I really want, a V tail or Debonair. My reasoning behind these choices is mainly our size, I’m 6,6” and one son is that size and the other is 6’8”! As far as...
