This comparison was an eye opener of how similar this planes are, the advantages of the 205 are being able to carry more people and weight, plus a stronger nose gear, its a great plane for the backcountry.

Re: Cessna 182 vs 205
1) What strip is that? Looks very nice.
2) What STOL cuff on the 205.
No fences on too so I'll guess its a Sportsman.
Interesting fences at the outboard end of the cuff,
I assume to allow proper fitment of non-cuffed wingtips?

Re: Cessna 182 vs 205
The strip looked familiar is why I asked.
I think I know where it is, south of Majerle's old strip, right at a bend in the river.
It used a have a twin parked on it.
Does that C205 belong to "Piper Painter" ?
Maybe he can pipe in with info on the STOL cuff.

Yes that is the strip, there used to be a Cessna 320 there, the 205 belongs to Piper Painter..

Re: Cessna 182 vs 205
I google-mapped that strip-- yup, that's the one I thought it was. Looks like a single engine Cessna parked on it now.
I think if I owned it, I'd take down the trees across from the hangar, but otherwise it looks pretty wide open.
Unfortunately, like every place else in that valley, I bet it floods pretty regularly.

Re: Cessna 182 vs 205
A shootout between an early 182A or B with variable incidence tailplane trim would be interesting. The fact that the 182P had a similar empty weight as the 205 was a good fact from the video. As always very nicely produced videos.

205 that weighs 1750?
Our 206 is 1975 or so.

Re: Cessna 182 vs 205
Could say the same about a P model 182, I doubt there many that actually weught in at 1750. I work on a few that are all around 1870.behindpropellers wrote:205 that weighs 1750?

My 182 weights 1740 pounds,I added some avionics and STOL kit , but also replaced seats with Atlee Dodge seats, MT prop, small alternator, small MT Prop governor, lightweight carpet, removed sound proofing.

Earlier airplanes were generally lighter airplanes. Especially Cessnas...
