oH, you know, I have been reading this and I agree a 182 is a good plane.
I took my primary in a tri-gear Maule. That was a fun, useful plane. You could get into and out of most anywhere, it was tri-gear, so no tail dragger stuff. They have 3 passenger doors, and a cargo door. You can get the fixed prop 180 HP models cheap, however, I would recommend the C/S prop 180 HP (the plane I flew), it was much faster than a 172. For more speed, add more horsepower, get an MT7-235. Gets off the ground REALLY quick.
On a windy day, I used to hold it on the ground until I was up to 60, then pop the nose up, and climb like a banshee!!
