I have about 350 hours on the Husky Wipline amphibs. Don't forget to
put your water rudders up! (Ask me how I know). A 206 is a much larger
heavier airplane. The 206 has the big baggage door but no copilot door
(never could understand that one). A 180 is a sportier, smaller plane
than the 206 and tailwheel when on wheels. A 206 is a real workhorse
and carries more. If you need the space, buy the 206. Only buy as much
plane as you need. Amphibs are pretty complicated. Don't neglet your
checklist. Landing geardown in water is a catastrophe in an Amphib.
Float flying is fun, but there is a lot to go wrong. Easy to ding the
floats on a rock when taxiiing etc. But there is NOTHING like float
flying, coming in and landing on a clear mountain lake, catching a fish
and eating it for lunch What a thrill.
