I’ll try again...Hey 58Skylane, could you share what size tires you’re running in your pics. Just bought a ‘58 and getting ready to put good tires on it. Did you buy from Todd Hitchcock in Nampa? Thanks! Phil2018-06-12 17:24:20 -
Hey 58Skylane...you’re right down the road from me. I have a question...I’ve been looking hard for a ‘56 182. I really want the tall gear. However, I just found a ‘58 that may be a steal. I want to fly in the Idaho backcountry but nothing too crazy. Do you ever wish you had the taller gear? Do you feel like a 3-blade prop with the increased ground clearance would be prudent if not necessary?2018-06-02 05:17:40
