Scott, unless you need the extra speed and seats frequently, don't give
up the 182.
Find someone with Saratoga, park it next to your 182.
Load up the 182, then transfer everything to the Saratoga and see how
everything fits and where you are within W&B.

That's a beautiful machine, Mike! I've always had an eye for the big
Cherokees, assuming I ever get rid of the 182.

Just curious, what is that rigamaroll under the Stormscope???

Happy Flying!
