	My husband and I used to own this plane from 1977 to 1987, and it was our favorite of all the planes we had. It outperforms any similar tricycle gear and was faster also. It got in and out of our 1200'grass strip even when the grass was tall or the field was muddy. Take good care of this little gem and if you ever want to sell it, we'd gladly take it back again in place of our 1976 182.

	I owned this aircraft in the late 80's. I redid the interior in wool, added the stol kit and loved it! It took me all over the U.S. and Canada on numerous fishing trips. Not many 180's have an auto-pilot. Sweet 180!
