Sorry. Yes that info sticks and I am not a plane spotter.

This is the most underrated general aviation airplane of all. It does it all with grace and aplomb. They are WAAAAAYYY underpriced when you consider that they have low maintenance requirements, very low insurance rates, few AD’s, parts availability, and compare favorably to a new Cirrus is just about every way. I’ve owned mine since 1999, commuted to work daily in it for a couple of years, did a huge number of business trips, and took numerous vacations all across the country with it. I just did a total firewall forward this year, have painted it now twice, new interior, and new panel with metal panels. You couldn’t get me to give this bird up if you gave me a new plane.

It looks gangly when it falls back at first but when it is on a jack and running you do not want to let it hit the ground or get in the way of it. If it hits the ground it will push the plane right off the jacks and if you get in the way it would probably break a bone. It is very strong. Surprisingly so. Thank you for watching.

Some bad info in this video, as a 10 year owner and pilot of a TR182, you won’t overboast a TR182, it has a blow off valve that opens at 33 inches and allows the excess boast to bleed off if you push the throttle to far in, while it’s not proper to count on that it WILL NOT BOAST TO 40 inches lol, also the gear warning activates based off of throttle position or second knotch of flaps, either one will activate gear warning if the gear isn’t down

It's blow through configuration and it's not compressing the air over sea level pressure so it's not heating it. That means you can get carb ice like on a non turbo.
