...Skywagon time preferred . Call Rob at tree oh seven two five six six zero four five.

Picking up one of shortfielder's planes?

If you're getting checked out in a Skywagon, Substantial Skywagon experience should be an absolute must.

And talk to your insurance carrier.

If the checkout is just for insurance purposes, like mine was, I wouldn't worry about it. It's nice to have someone who's got an extensive amount of Skywagon time, but after all it is just an airplane. If you've got a lotta Cessna taildragger time, like Rob does, flying a 180 is not a big deal. The biggest deal for me was dealing with the constant speed prop.

Hey Rob...Is your plane gonna show up for sale soon?

Steve Waters in Montrose, Co....He's a CFI and flies a 185 for the Colorado Div Of Wildlife...None better...

Thanks for the replies everyone.

....Yes, I bought Gary's Pponk 180 and flew it home today. And yes, my 170 is for sale now.

Wow! Congrats!

Awesome Rob!! Great news. You'll love the 180!

What he said.
Congrats.
IMHO inside (almost) every 170 owner is a 180 owner trying to get out.
You'll be glad you took the plunge.
