Fly it like you STOL it ♦
180 is no different from a 182 in those regards and I never come near stall with 1.2 Vso nose up trim. With trim for neutral yoke on final, just go full throttle, ease the flaps out and let her climb the **** out of there. Once you have the flap lever to the deck you can roll to the trim away from Vx.
If you obviously don't have to go around trim in some more and slow her down across the threshold for a three point or to give you a bit of forward resistance for a wheel landing. I found mine came out better if I had a little forward tension.
What scares people on a go around is that they have excess energy going in, so when you add more energy from the engine, you suddenly have a full on ****load of energy to convert into altitude, and since Vx and the 1.2 Vso you are trimmed for are very close together, the airplane will try to convert that excess energy quickly and efficiently by turning it into climb. It will drop the nose automatically as excess energy dissipates in the climb. The plane does not get squirmy in a hurry, the plane scares you and you make it squirrelly trying to fight it, no different than a spirited horse, sometimes it's best to just give the reins hang on and provide guidance with your feet.
Full aft trim + full power = super stall ... if your hand slips off the yoke.
You can't adjust fast enough.
Skywagons are typically a tad more forward C.G. than 182's. You'd think this would help, but I think it has an opposite effect because you're trimmed back more.
