Only got 260 hp and has the 182 wing. It's a tri-gear version of the 185. Has the 185 wing and engine. Wingspan is 8" greater than the 182. Weighs more than a 182. True. Gets outperformed by a 182. It's faster, climbs better, and can haul more than a 182. The 185, on the other hand, will beat it. George Patterson I childproofed my house, but they *still* get in.

The early 182's are used for hauling skydivers and have been approved
for 5 jumpers with a pilot. Thats 6 people in a 182. I've seen 7 people in a 182 with a 300lb pilot, now thats another story. The seats have been removed to provide space and reduce weight. Since the aircraft has been approved for 5 skydivers, you might be able to get it approved for 5 people as long as you don't go out of the CG envelope and have seat belts for each passenger.

Never happen. Been tried, thousands of times. CG isn't really a factor in the 182.

Then they used the 210 to make the 205. The 205 is more properly a derivative of a 210, it is on the 210 type certificate and was built using the same jigs. Has the 185 wing and engine. Like I said, 260 hp. Wingspan is 8" greater than the 182. It's the same wing. Weighs more than a 182. True. Gets outperformed by a 182. It's faster, It's the same speed or slower. Although we're only talking a few knots. climbs better, Climbs worse when at gross. Has to, weighs too damn much. Has worse takeoff performance, has to, too damn heavy for the power. Same wing as a 182 and only 30 more hp to lift 500-700 more pounds.
