You evidently are not in the U.S.
Aircraft used for skydiving are subjected to exceptional stress and show
their age quickly.
I have been a pilot for skydivers in the past - Your engine will be wide
open or off - your paint and interior
fabric will show use first, followed by the rest of the airframe and power
plant - it's cheaper to rent .

Hello I am new to the forum , I need some tips on buying a cessna 182
for skydiving operations and fun flying.
I have found very useful the articles on this page I am a new pilot
with only 100 hours flown , but I have been skydiving for a lot and
have seen a lot of 182`s .
Before I buy I have been studing a lot so I can make a good choice ,
this is why I wanted to ask you highly experinced pilots about tips on
buying a cessna 182 .
I have 50.000 and want to make a good buy.

Thanks
Alejandro Matteucci
