182L Skylane (P-Ponk) - SOLD
The 1968
182L model Skylane was the 5th year of the modern, wide-body fuselage
still in production today. The 1968 L-model Skylane had two
notable changes: pre-select flaps and the standard T arrangement of the
sacred six flight instruments. No longer do you have to hold the
flap switch down until you get the flap setting you are looking for,
just select the flap position desired and flaps are automatically
deployed to that setting. Already introduced in previous model
years was: one-piece rear window, redesigned tear-drop aft side window,
new pointed prop spinner, increased horizontal-stabilizer / elevator
size, thicker one-piece windshield, magnesium control wheels, new cabin
door latches, short-stroke nose gear oleo strut, and vertical stab tip
extension.
This Skylane had the very desirable P-Ponk Super Eagle O-470-50 (275
hp) mod to the engine, a 3-blade prop conversion, 2000 hour recomended
TBO engine, and a Horton STOL kit. The P-Ponk mod puts Continental 520
Cylinders onto the O-470 engine (an increase of 50 cubic inches of
displacement), modifies the crankcase, and then derates the engine to
275 hp.
The majority of this Skylanes life has been in Colorado, it is
currently based in Western Colorado, and
is available for inspection by appointment.
All
specifications are believed to be accurate but are subject to
verification.
