3:39 That is a 182 with the King Katmai modification installing a canard, 300-HP IO-550, choice of 82- or 86-inch, three-blade prop, speed mods/drag reduction fairings, wing extension, increased gross weight, heavy-duty landing gear, and oversize tires. Low stall speed around 31 knots. 3100 lb gw and a Short Takeoff distance of 290 feet! A $360,000.00 price tag on the conversion!! I doubt that's been forgotten.
Here is a video taken on Atizapan de Zaragoza Mexico of a C182 with that same kit, close to MMMX Airport. It's in spanish though. Excuse my english. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-e1kKYQ2vRZI.html
In my younger days I wanted to be an A&P mechanic. My good friend from Thompson, Manitoba got his license at Parks College and had a long and successful career in Alaska. He learned helicopters and had a booming business!. It is sad to see the old birds neglected but it is an expensive love, that aviation!
Helpful tip if you are trying to show an interior you place your camera up against the window( touching it) you can see in past the glare. A good trick I learned looking at old cars
Here is a very good mexican pilot RU-vid Channel with an insteresting video about an C182 with that kit. It's in spanish though. Excuse my english. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-e1kKYQ2vRZI.html
Nice little walkaround! Some of those planes are for sure there for a "Graveyard".. haha. I'm thinking the planes with the better paint jobs, aren't there because they're in the Graveyard, but rather someone is paying for the tie down spot, and actually they get use now and again. I'm not current anymore, but when I was flying, Most of what I'd do was fly locally, usually on one weekend day. The plane would be gone from the airport for something like 2-4 hours, then it was back at it's tie down looking like it never left. A big tell tale, is if the grass under the plane is the same height as around it that's mowed, it probably has moved recently. Doesn't mean it flew, but at least moved.. Sure, it's possible somebody "Mowed" it with a weed whacker or push mower.. I guess it depends on the person doing the grounds. My old airport, the mower would just go around the planes on the grass... LOL Yeah, Cessna and Piper are the 2 most common brands you'll see at GA (General Aviation) airports. "Most" Cessna's are the high wing planes. "Most" Pipers are the low wing planes. But there are other brands of each as well (Aeronca as mentioned in another comment, Mooney, Beechcraft etc...), just those are the 2 most common you'd see. That 402 Businessliner surely hasn't flown in a while though.. Grass under it is high, and missing right prop. Not a good sign.. haha.. OH, and that last one (C-FMIU) looks like a Cessna 182 with the King Katmai STOL (Short Takeoff and Landing, in case it wasn't known) mod. You see the oversize tires, It'll have a bigger engine (300HP), 3 Blade prop and the canard wings on the nose. Reduces the stall speed down to about 31 Knots, and can take off in about 290 feet on a hard surface. Thanks again for the tour of your local "Graveyard" 😎
I think that was a plane sitting over at the college. I will go have a wander over there and see what’s laying around. There’s a few more planes that haven’t moved in awhile on that side
These are obviously Canada licensed planes and unless they were originally assigned an N number in the USA they cannot be moved back to the states. I tried to buy a plane out of Canada. I learned a lot about the laws.
Well, actually they can, it just takes a good bit of work, which usually makes the cost excessive for all but the most desirable aircraft. Basically a complete compliance inspection, to the type certificate, review of maintenance records, overhaul of any parts not maintained to FAA 'standard' from CAA, and a good bit of paperwork. There are several brokerages that will gladly handle that work for you, for a fee of course.
@@oldschoolcfi3833 it's not uncommon for aircraft in Europe to be moved to N reg (less common these days than say 20yrs ago due to more recent legislation on licencing for European based pilots) but yeah it costs about 10k GBP to do the whole process.
Says the guy who can’t spell RU-vid. This channel is about whatever I see in my day that’s cool. I don’t know a thing about airplanes but I’m lucky enough to be around them everyday and people don’t get to see them unless I show them because they come in for repairs and then leave forever. Enjoy the show. If you have so much knowledge on them, educate the people following
Don't be rude. The guy's nice enough to share. It's great that he can get close enough to the planes as I once could in my area before TSA required high fencing around many of our GA airports in the states.
