I got 135 KTAS at 9000 yesterday in something like ISO+5 conditions, fairly light though with just me and full fuel. 1980 C182Q, 65% power and leaned to peak EGT.

If you are having a Cessna wet wing torn down that much, I'd insist on a reseal.

I thought I'd provide an update on our particular situation. And it's not a great one :) The years of various shops chasing (badly) this leak created so much buildup of sealant layers inside the tank that it rendered the lower skin of the tank unusable. Attempts to strip this mess out failed...

Looking to get a good bite, a walk around to perhaps see something fun, and a comfy hotel. Off early the next morning.

Thank you for all the help, folks. Hoping to make this trip in early April. C182, so really would be a long day of flying to make it all the way, and I'd rather enjoy the flight over the keys anyway.

Just one comment from me... a 1/2Qt of oil per day leak would make you think the entire airplane was washed in oil. Something sounds wrong about this.

As the title suggests, looking for a good stop over in northern to central Florida. I'd rather make the trip down the keys in good daylight. Thanks in advance!

Gosh that sucks. We had a scare with the Cessna door post AD, that would have made our annual go from two weeks to two months including trucking the hulk somehwere LOL. Turned out ok but I feel your pain. Good luck.

PA28 180 is a great first airplane. 35k seems short for a 'nice one'. Barnstormers, Controller, and Trade a Plane are the usual haunts for listings. Good luck!

This is disappointing to hear. I wonder why they would undermine the product they just bought. Any materials to back this up?

Very late to this thread, and it seems to have degenerated anyway. But to @obw , just wanted to send you a digital hug. This is awful.

Get a 430W!! (I kid, I kid)

TBO has a devil put aside for meeee. FOR MEEEE. FOOOR MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

LET HIM GO!

Easy come, easy go.

If you had only one in the plane and that one went tango uniform, the IFR flight would have cancelled itself :)

Yes, for IFR having two comm units is vital.

There's a set of cessna year ranges that have a "no slips with full flaps" restriction, apparently.

Yeah, us too. It's important that all the partners agree on the trajectory of planned upgrades before they buy in. Also, smaller partnerships are more likely to succeed on upgrades, because of fewer families financial variables injected into the process. -G
