I finally got time today to do the insurance flight check in the new airplane and logged 2.0 with my CFI. Now it's Miller time. :woot:

I haven't had this much fun with an airplane in a long, long, time. This 182 is a very nice bird and I can already imagine the adventures we're going to have with it. :thumbup:

LOL!

My hangar neighbor brought over some Miller Beer in bottles and I couldn't resist. I had some Hangar 24 beer in the fridge (Betty IPA) but the Miller sounded more refreshing. ;)

A Miller in hand is worth any two other beers "in the bush".

Congratulations, Dave! I've always loved Skylanes. They're among the best all-around singles. I'm sure that you'll become the closest of friends.

First cross country in the 182 today to Lake Havasu to look at a second home(s). After 17 years of flying the RV6A without an autopilot it was really a treat to sit back and relax with an autopilot engaged with Alt hold. I feel like I've been cheated all these years! But I'm hooked... :D

Nice photos, Dave. I am sure that you'll have many wonderful and memorable hours in your Skylane!

I have the same autopilot, I think. A Stec-30? I have enjoyed mine for 15 years or more.

If your plane doesn't have an external switch to select modes for the AP, I strongly suggest that you consider getting one installed. Mine has a switch on the pilot's control wheel that has PTT, mode select, altitude hold and disconnect. Works great for me. The story I've heard is that the mode select that is a part of the instrument itself is .. well ... fragile. And costly to replace.

I had the same feelings that you expressed after my first 8 hour cross country. "Why have I not done this earlier?"

I flew my 182K for 1200 hrs with a single axis autopilot I rarely used. Lots of solid IFR.
Easy to do. Extreamly stable. Great airplane. Moved to a T-210. I like the KFC 200 in the 210. I notice the 210 has little trim change with speed or configuration compared to the 182. If in doubt about what aircraft to buy “Just get a 182” is good advice. Enjoy!

Coyle,
Got the switches on the yoke like you mentioned except they didn't put in an external mode switch. :scratch:

Thanks, Bill. So far I'm really enjoying the 182!

Dave I flew a 182 for the first time this weekend and have to agree with you. If I didn't have and love the Bonanza I'd look really hard at one of these.
You sure have to have different landing procedures though.

I had to replace that part on my STEC-30. I think it cost about 450 bucks and the part was a flimsy piece of plastic. I agree being able to control the autopilot modes from the yoke is the way to go.

Congrats on the new plane..
And good luck to you on house hunting in Havasu, real estate prices are thru the roof there right now. And think twice about trying to build anything there these days, the contractors and subs are out of control busy..
