IO540,
The 182 is a great airplane. Why do trikes have better crosswind performance than taildraggers? I always thought crosswind performance was about control power and ground clearance.
Contacttower,
200m is only part of the picture. What is at either end of the 200m? Trees or fields? Wires or a cliff?
