Thanks Pine, Theo and Marcelo,

I was expecting some technical discussion of  pressurized mags and
airfoils. I never thought of insurance actuarys.

Theo, my 182 does seem to have a strong engine though the time we were
full gross I had a pilot in the right seat who is a real master of the
three knobs.

It is interesting that airplanes can be that different while sharing the
same POH. Take a look at your POH but once your below 75% power or so full
RPM is allowed on the O470L which will get a few more horsepower.

Marcelo, I agree that 18,000 may not be the most efficeint but it is good
to have when trying to leave Western Oregon (summer or winter) unless you
have known ice. When we were on top at 18,000 there was a Bonanza at 10k
with a load of ice asking ATC what minimum terrain clearance was and being
told he could go to 7k but lose radar and radio. I'll take 18,000.
