New addition

I finally joined the club; 1962 Cessna 180E. I bought it out of Anchorage and had someone ferry it down to W20, who arrived this afternoon. It's got a mid-time engine and prop, most of the add-ons I wanted, and is in good to very good condition. I also changed my username to be more specific.

I can't wait to tear into it....

Re: New addition

Congrats!!! Lots of good times in your future with that one. I'm looking at 62 180 myself. What size tire is that on the tailwheel?

Re: New addition

Its a Baby Bush Wheel on the back. I can't tell you much more than that right now. The ferry pilot landed, we tied it down, then I had to leave for the weekend. Monday I hope to get more intimate with it....
