Ok, not going to start a big high wing/low wing debate. I think I have a legitimate question. I currently own a piper archer. I am not happy with the takeoff distance/climb. Curious to know how the 235 and 182 stack up as a potential replacement. I am aware that both have changed over the years but generally the 182 has shorter takeoff and better climb. However I've noticed that for many of the years the 235 has a better useful load. Meaning the data at MGTOW don't represent the same amount of fuel and people calculated in the performance numbers. The ultimate question is about takeoff and climb similarly loaded. Is the 182 still better?
