1978 Cessna 182Q Skylane

Overview
This awesome Cessna 182Q Skylane packs a punch when it comes to number of upgrades and enhancements, both large and subtle. It hits all the high notes on good maintenance and flying history, solid compressions on low engine hours, good cosmetics, and being ready for modern service behind stellar panel upgrades, including an Aspen Evolution PFD with synthetic vision, GTN750 with WAAS, and ADS-B in and out.

Not only does this Skylane boast some nice appointments like VG kit (better short field performance and enhanced slow flight characteristics), flap gap seals (more speed!), and all LED lighting... it also graces its pilots with unreal climb and cruise performance thanks to the extra 45 horsepower afforded by the heavily sought after PPonk O-470-50 Super Eagle engine conversion. While enjoying your 275 h.p. 182Q and a generous useful load, the only downside is having to wait on your hangar neighbor at the next fly-in!

Current owners are a partnership that just stepped up to a Cirrus SR22 and they are offering this plane up for a next caring owner. Whether you are looking for the perfect first airplane or a perfect forever plane, this one is not to be overlooked. Check out the full features and specs lists and compare. So much value packed into this one it is not to be overlooked!
