A friend of mine has bought a C182 with the canard kit and a Garmin 500 (has to be N-reg). It gets airborne in under 100m. It's a very capable utility aircraft.
Sounds amazing, though a C182 is not going to be as efficient as a more "normal" 4-seat tourer, so
at 7500ft gives 133ktas with a burn of 11.5usg ph
sounds about right.
