I had Air Plains do the IO550 conversion on my 182P and it is the better than anyone could expect. Even after 1 1/2 years it is exciting every flight.

I’m surprised AOPA posted a picture of an A&P’s cert. number in a public article! Not good.

Nice bird. I am hoping to some day get a complex / high performance rating to my current SEL license. A 182 would work out quite nicely.

As the Architects say, form follows function. As function is king, the C-182 is one of the most beautiful aircraft on the planet.
The C-182 has lots of room, lots of power, good view, and good avionics, even the old stuff; better than any commercial airliner;
although somewhat more expensive, but probably worth it.

RG would be nice, but too expensive up front–and we like to give away airplanes that pilots of any experience level can feel comfortable in…..

Mr. Horne,

Just curious – would you have ever considered a 182RG? If you saw one that was better than any other fixed-gear 182, would the RG have been a deal-breaker? If so, can you explain? Thanks and appreciate the articles and blog. Can’t wait to hear my name called about a year from now!
