    V35 vs 182RG

    The 182rg has many advantages over the rest of the aircraft mentioned. First it carries an insurmountable load, over gross by 50% is common place. Second, any extra $$ spent on annual on the gear swing is easily made up in increased MPG. Third, you can cruise at 156kts/176kts at 8000K and...

    Cessna 182RG, goods bads, what is the average annual cost.

    Best plane I ever owned, on my second engine. Bought the first one with 1000 hrs to go B4 overhaul. Got a Firewall forward @ G&N and have 2K hrs on that. 3K hrs in it total for me with all long X-country and zero problems. I love it and will never sell it, does everything I need it to do.

    I have 3400 hrs in the 1882 182RG I owned since 2000. I will never sell it since it does everything I need it to do. I regularly fly it from Chicago to KFMY without stopping with plenty of IFR reserve and carry 4 large adults/baggage and full tanks. Insurance is 1700/yr for a million smooth and...
