I owned a c-182 in the past.yesterday I picked up a c-180 for a friend and was surprised how big it was. I thought the c-180 was the tailwheel version og the c-182. Now im not so sure? It seems like it is big ad a c-206? Any cessna experts out there that can educate me?

All 180's are the narrow body. 182's thru 1961 are also the narrow body, literally the 180 with a nosewheel. Starting in 1962 the 182 is 4 inches wider.

182s got cabins 4 inches wider in 1962. Before that, they were the same as 180s.

If one is looking at a C180 that has the folding jump seats and extended baggage, it will look a lot bigger inside than a stock 182.

But, you can do those mods to the 182, as well. ;)

Yeah I stated that goofy. Most 182's have larger (wider) cabins than C-180's. My favorite 182 is a 1960C model fastback with the higher gear. Someone once said they are the fastest of the narrow body 182's. I think they look the best but I wish they had the elbow room of the later models.

Love all the Cessna 180's too. :dancing:
