Sorry AKT. My short attention span got the best of me. Your 180 thread has been inactive for a while, and overshadowed by your flying threads. Perhaps a "bump" is in order? And a poll.

Re: With this buttload of Skywagon threads...

I started on this. Still have a ways to go, adding the list from this thread.

http://www.backcountrypilot.org/knowledge-base/aircraft/modifications/165-cessna-180-185-skywagon

I sometimes have to make my best guess when searching the STC database for STC numbers I don't have, so if any mistakes a spotted, let me know.

Keep the suggestions coming.

Re: With this buttload of Skywagon threads...

Great work Z, it will be nice to have a complete list to reference.

Here's another good one.

Wipaire Inc stainless steel wire brace. Attaches the upper engine mounts to the front spar.
STC: SA3-592 (Cessna 180-180D)
Website: http://wipaire.com/

I will email you the STC in PDF form.

Re: With this buttload of Skywagon threads...

I'm surprised the Pponk O-470-50 Super Eagle upgrade hasn't been mentioned. I have a slew of STCs on my 180 but my favorite by far is the engine upgrade. I don't have the STC info on me at the moment and can't seem to find it on the FAA site but I will add it later if I remember.
