And compared to my 182, the 51 has plenty of power!!

And compared my Taylorcraft, your 182 has plenty of power :-) I do have the
85HP with the O-200 crankshaft. It probably puts out about 95hp. It only
wieghs 810 empty, so the climb rate isn't too bad.

I would, however, like to fly a piston plane with so much p-factor you have
to limit take off power on takeoff to not run off the runway. The F-4 had
very little p-factor. Very little yaw with an engine out even. In someways
the easiest airplane to land I have ever flown. It is impossible to bounch
and flaring is optional. You can just fly it until it hits the ground.
