Did 182s have CS props back then?


I used to fly a C-182A. Its almost like a C-172XP. The body was much
more narrow than a more recent 182,


Four inches narrower. The wide bodies started in 1962. Previous to
that the 182 was the same fuselage as the 180.


Its amazing how much difference that 4 inches makes in a GA plane!!
