This is the most underrated general aviation airplane of all. It does it all with grace and aplomb. They are WAAAAAYYY underpriced when you consider that they have low maintenance requirements, very low insurance rates, few AD’s, parts availability, and compare favorably to a new Cirrus is just about every way. I’ve owned mine since 1999, commuted to work daily in it for a couple of years, did a huge number of business trips, and took numerous vacations all across the country with it. I just did a total firewall forward this year, have painted it now twice, new interior, and new panel with metal panels. You couldn’t get me to give this bird up if you gave me a new plane.

[@skywagonuniversity5023]

True. You can get one of these or a new fixed gear for 5 times the price that goes slower.

[@peteranninos2506]

During my plane search I looked at a Turbo 182 and at the time it was bit out of my price range plus I hadn't been current in 27 years! I wound up with a Cardinal RG that I really love but that turbo would have been nice! So, now a couple years later I might just put an aftermarket turbo on her. Ok, it's 50K but what the heck! That said, she certainly won't fly that slow with the 210 wing but 140 knots under 10GPH is pretty good! Love your videos.

I remember flying this exact plane years ago 2007ish, it was one of the cleanest, smoothest and fastest airplanes I've flown as far as single engine Cessna's go.. I remember at the time the leather was brand new and the door latches were silky smooth, I remember seeing well over 200kts ground speed heading eastbound over the sierras.. Glad to see it still looking good, the owner at the time had a T210R that was in immaculate shape as well.

Great aircraft.

[@musoseven8218]

Another great video Mark👍😊 It's a remarkable machine, as you say VERY Cessna, the gear action always makes me chuckle. Also as well as looking gangly the gear looks very delicate. Take off and landings are also very Cessna, the speed envelope is for TO and landings too, clever for training progression/hour building, sales and standardisation too, classic aeroplane for the USA. A big thank you, to you and the owner for bringing us along ✌️💜👍😊

[@skywagonuniversity5023]

It looks gangly when it falls back at first but when it is on a jack and running you do not want to let it hit the ground or get in the way of it. If it hits the ground it will push the plane right off the jacks and if you get in the way it would probably break a bone. It is very strong. Surprisingly so. Thank you for watching.

But, then I live in New Zealand, with a dusty CPL/M-IR, and have no money... But if I ever do, I'll been seeing you Mark for a plane if I can't find one on this side of the Pacific! 😀

Where in NZ. I've been all over NZ, it is a great country.

[@v1rotait23]

Hi Mark, I'm from Christchurch, down on the "mainland", living 2 miles from our international airport where I did my training long ago. I've flown all around NZ, but mostly around the South Island over all our mountains and many lakes. The USA is my bucket list country, which will take at least 20yrs to get around it all! My job here in NZ has our main US branch office in Phoenix, where my boss is, so I'm likely to come over sometime! I spend a lot of my time talking to customers all over the US so am pretty familiar with many of the states. 😁

[@Spyke-lz2hl]

First, great video and thank you! I do have an observation. You wait way too long to pull up your gear, just like many others. Many have a tendency to wait until they’re at or past the end of the runway. What it’s really meant to be is no more useable runway. When you get to the point where you can’t get back down to the runway to land on it in the event of an engine failure, the gear needs to come up to give that performance boost. By waiting, you’re only reducing your climb during a critical period.

[@skywagonuniversity5023]

Thank you. It's really in the editing and for the camera when I put the gear up on these flights.

Thy are great planes, So are Arrows.

[@okiegrandboater]

Some bad info in this video, as a 10 year owner and pilot of a TR182, you won’t overboast a TR182, it has a blow off valve that opens at 33 inches and allows the excess boast to bleed off if you push the throttle to far in, while it’s not proper to count on that it WILL NOT BOAST TO 40 inches lol, also the gear warning activates based off of throttle position or second knotch of flaps, either one will activate gear warning if the gear isn’t down

[@skywagonuniversity5023]

True, the pop-off valve is there, but still, you should never run it over the green like it wants you to.

[@cobraCRZY48]

Currently looking to upgrade from my 1968 Piper Arrow. After watching this video and your video about the Bonanzas I am truly conflicted! Current mission is 2 Adults and 2 kids 400ish nm trips as well as $100 hamburger. As someone with more experience than me do you have any advice or recommendations?

[@skywagonuniversity5023]

Hmmm hard one. What I'd suggest is look at both the RG's and the 33 model Bonanzas and see which one comes up with what you need first, as both planes are going to do what you want to do with them very well.. Considerations are, number of doors, high wing/low wing etc.

[@marco_75.7]

At9:15 with the emergency going off at full flaps, does the computer automatically activate some positive elevator to counter the continued decreasing speed initiated by flaps?

[@skywagonuniversity5023]

The gear warning horn will go on and on until you either increase power or put the gear down. You could fly like that all day. There is no computer. Just a sensor.

It has slightly smaller tires on it that can never be bigger or they will not go in the gear wells. It is not an off airport plane but if a surface is level enough to drive a modern sedan on it at 70mph, it is OK to land on it.

Yes, because you have to swing and rig the gear. Also way more expensive to insure because of the chance of gear up landing.

@@SkylaneGuy would it if there are any to have a fixed gear turbo normalized 182 or fixed gear 182 with an engine upgrade like the 285/300hp? Asking being in Arizona during the warmer months the density altitude in some places gets way up there.

Yes, you have to swing the gear at an annual and the turbo itself is an expendable item. More speed but more maintenance but no more than anything else like it. Did you see the "gear swing" video we did on here.

@@skywagonuniversity5023 thanks! Going to checkout the gear swing video now. I’m a newer fixed wing ppl, being not a professional pilot I believe in the KISS method.

Probably an unobtainable wish list but I haven’t yet had a large experience with aircraft other than the 172.

awesome video . In a turbo could you push the throttle full forward and as you climb it would keep you exactlyat 24 mp?

No, The opposite. You manually maintain 24 inches with power and altitude. You never cannot get 24 inches. The throttle is never fully in even on take off.

Why is Carb Heat necessary in a turbocharged engine plane? Isn't air heated as it is compressed by the turbocharger? Great videos!

[@skywagonuniversity5023]

Good question.

[@skywagonuniversity5023]

What if at low altitude, icing conditions existed and the turbo normalizer was being bypassed? At that point, wouldn't the carb heat be needed? - Don the Camera Guy.

[@Saml01]

It's blow through configuration and it's not compressing the air over sea level pressure so it's not heating it. That means you can get carb ice like on a non turbo.

[@FlyingNDriving]

I still feel like the 2pt videos should stagger by a day but that could just be me. KZbin recommend tab doesn't seem to recommend one video a day from the same channel. Also the notifications of new uploads seem to get funky when two videos come out at the same time
