If you don't want to spend $300,000.00 to make a 60 plus year old Cessna 180 NEW!! You can buy a brand new Maule.

If I were going to land off airport. I WOULD NOT GET A NOSE WHEEL!!!! I have had multiple friends get nose wheels stuck in sand. I have helped replace a bent prop on nose wheels from taxiing off airport.

I've seen the video (if its the one I'm thinking of, with Kevin and crew?) and it would have been a very bad day in a 182.

The sky wagons are really good all around planes, landing off field, floats, tundras, skis, cross country, IMC, good balance.
