Don "Wolfman" Wolfe generously allowed us to video and climb all over his plane, which is an exceptional example of a Cessna 180. We offered to pay to have the drool washed off, but he declined.

Everyone says the Beaver is the ultimate bush plane,it kinda is but the beaver is the Kenworth of bush planes the 180 is like a chipped up 1 ton , there's literally nothing to compete with it , all metal hauls a mean load and it's stol performance is unmatched when considering it's haul capacity......my dream plane

I did a few of those fuel gauge installations. Really not that expensive and easy to install. Great for 172s because often times new floats or gauge calibration still don't fix their issues. The gauge and senders are like $1500 and the labor is about a day to install, maybe another half day to calibrate.

I love my '79 Skywagon (N2684K, Texas Skyway O-550, float kit [never been on floats], Sportsman, VGs, Snider speed kit, IFR, etc.). Just spent last 4 months converting interior to utility interior with all new glass, Sport Aircraft Seats, etc. Your video was excellent as always and I even learned more about my own buggy. My plane has original paint and it's still in very good shape. Just spent last 1-1/2 weeks polishing it. This featured Skywagon is a beauty for sure! Very grateful that he shared his plane with us. My plan is to replace my panel with Garmin 3X touch later this year. Questions 1. Why is my exhaust on pilot side? 2. Why were engine monitor and fuel gage added when that can be handled with 3X Touch? Thank you so much! I love all of your videos, Mark, but, of course this one was my favorite because of my '79 wagon.

Hello Mark from Skywagon University. Thank you for your concise and interesting reports of Light GA planes. Q1. Why does an extended dorsal fin before the tail (empennage) increase the gross load capacity? I notice this: for example, the Balanca wood and fabric (dope) plane? Moreover, some sports planes, like the SR22 and similar: are having the attachment? Student pilot (CASA) registered 🌏🇭🇲
@skywagonuniversity50233 жыл бұрын
I'm not sure that it does increase GW. What it does do though is keep the plane straighter on a water take-off where there are no brakes.

The II is a delivery package when new. A few options like post lights and a deluxe interior. Right side window operable in a 182 etc etc. With new paint, interior, engine and radios the I and II differences are lost.

@@brentdykgraaf184 The 180 was produced from 1953 to 1981. The 185 was produced from 1961 to 1985. They stopped production of all single engine piston planes in 1986 for liability reasons. Then Tort reform came out and limited liability to planes that were only 18 years old or younger. This allowed Cessna to restart production of the 172, 182 and 206 in 1997/1998. Taildraggers are never going to be built again because of the liability, nor are the retractables for the same reason. (thank you attorneys) Also Textron owns Cessna and Textron owns Lycoming so a new 180 or 185 would have to have a Lycoming in it and they are not really designed for them being heavier and longer.
