OK I am a 40 hour PPL in a 172, with another 450 hours following that in my RV7A, and recently started flying Cessna 182 with a friend who is working on his pilots license. My wife has been telling me she wants a 4 seater, so we took her up in the 1956 182 (jump plane). I know a jump plane is notoriously a piece of work (meaning always needing something), but it does seat 4 and for that I am jealous of his, but my RV7A is just AWESOME, and my wife loves that fact that she can look at the Glass cockpit and have a sense of where we are. I've told her that we could get a 4 seater but I won't sell the RV. A RV10 would be nice but I really like doing Aileron rolls across the country, the 7 is so easy to move into/out of the hanger, and 95% of the time I only have to fly with me or my wife or friend.
After flying the 182 this weekend (which is like a school bus) compared the the RV 7 (Ferrari). I think I will stick with the 7 and borrow the 182 when needed. haha!
