C 172RG, Cutlass.. it was a sweet flying Skyhawk.. did not cruise like a standard gear dragger.. I was at GFK when UND still had the Cessna's. What years were you there? I was in GFK.. actually KRDR... from 1988-1991. I was at GFK from 3/89-12/92. |

Actually it has to have 201 hp or more... 200 is not high perf. Look, if you're going to nitpick, at least get it right. A high performance airplane (under US FAA rules) is one which has an engine of greater than 200 HP. So a 200.5 HP engine is high performance, as is a 200.1 HP engine, as is a 200.00000001 HP engine. The magic number is " 200" not " = 201". See FAR 61.31 http://www.airweb.faa.gov/Regulatory...R.nsf/0/283B12 B7EA4B82BD86256959004B99F0?OpenDocument Russell Kent |

Thanks for all your insights. I test flew a 182 last week and I'm hoping to
get up in a six this week. RT "EDR" wrote in message ... In article , R.T. wrote: For my needs a decent payload is going to be important, so I am considering purchasing a 182 or possibly a Cherokee 6 (which would suit me even better). Any opinions on either of these aircraft good or bad would be appreciated. Six seats vice four seats gives you more flexibility, leg room and cargo space. The Cherokee Six has a ten knot speed advantage in cruise (135 kts vice 125 kts). For off airport/non-paved surface operations, the 182 will be less succeptible to FOD damage (high wing and higher horizontal stabilizer) Typical Cessna vice Piper arguements: High wing vice low wing Both have two doors, in this case! I fly both and I think the 182 will get in and out of shorter fields. Then again, the Cherokee Six has 300 higher gross (3400 lbs vice 3100 lbs) The 1978 Cherokee Six has 84 gallons usable The 1986 Cessna 182R has 88 gallons usable The Cherokee Six consumes 16 gph in cruise The 182 consumes 12 gph in cruise My observations and experiences. |
