205 with a 206 tailplane fitted n sportsman stol n vgs would make a Great Seaplane! Much cheaper n less hassle than fitting the extra fwd RH door mod , already has a full door fwd each side!
That is true, also you could get a P206 with the two front doors, made from 1964 to 1970. P on a 206 stands for "Passenger" No rear double doors and two real front doors. Rare but perfect would be a 1970 P206. No chin, wide tail, non-turbo, 520 engine and two front doors so the co-pilot could pile out to fend off a dock or beach or tree etc.
Found this 205 on your site about a week ago. Beautiful example. Would be perfect for a family of 5 (like mine)... With the 182 wing, how does it fly compared to the 206 handling wise? I have a few hours in each type, and while the 182 flew heavier than the 172, it was really well balanced. I always felt in my limited time in the 206,207,210 (though each flys differently I know) models that they flew more like a truck... not in a bad way, just an observation.
The 205 flys very similar to the 182 (I have one of each). 182 short final at 70 mph, 205 80 mph short final if over 2900 lb GW, under 2900 GW they are identical
We've much improved our sound game over the past year. We have better microphones, wind screens ... there was a learning curve for sound. - Don the Camera Guy.
I think the 205 would be a perfect fit for me. Sadly, the insurance companies don't seem to view the 205 as a "super" 182 but rather as a 210 variant. Nothing that a couple hundred more hours and IFR rating won't solve, but otherwise so tempting. I'm really enjoying these videos, you & co. are doing a great job at keeping them crisp and visually compelling. Slight audio peaking issues on this video, but incredible content!
Hi Nathan! We're working on dialing in the sound. We were aware that this was subpar. As far as insurance goes, have you reached out to Bill White Insurance? We've had years of good experience with him. bwifly.com We are not representatives and make no financial gain from recommending him.
Hello and thank you for the input. Please can you expand on the differences. I'm referring to square footage, chord, aileron dimensions, flap dimensions and fuel capacity options.
Loved this, Ive never thought of a 205 as a extended 182 but indeed thats what it is.
Good job, keep ‘em coming!
Enjoy the variations of the models you present Mark. Keep them coming
Hi R Miller! We are glad you like them and will keep putting them out as fast as we can!
Love the 205s.
Big 182, small 206.
I’m looking for the right one and I’m looking forward to seeing what you are bringing in the year 2012 Mark and Happy New year
Beautiful aircraft, thanks
This is a fantastic airplane.
Hey Mark , dose the rear door close correctly , it looks like it doesn't fit tight at the top REAR of the door . Thanks
It had new rubber seals in there and was very tight.
This 205 is above more than some one may pay but overall it’s a nice aircraft
205 is a 260 hp fuel injected 182 with a 3rd row of seats and 3300 lb GW, they are a huge bargain for what you get vs. a 182.

Agreed! 1 other mod , the larger rudder , with corresponding larger aerodynamic balance area, for better low speed handling.

Hi Tom! Your observations are correct. Handles heavier than a 182, but is very similar to the 206.

Thank you for this first hand info.
A little fuzzy on the mike !

I want that airplane!
It's a great plane.
How is the nose wheel attached?
Hi Miles! The nose wheel is attached to the airframe, under the front to the firewall, like a 210 or a 206. It is not attached to the engine web.

@@skywagonuniversity5023 Thanks for the recommendation!
The 205 does NOT have the same wings and tail of the 182.

So distorted, it was hard to understand.
Hi Jeremy! We are working on our sound game. Partly equipment and partly skill. Hope you'll bear with us!
