N820AK, Cessna
180K, 1977 model. It is a 6 seat configuration, including the pilot. Extra room
for baggage and gear is behind the rear seats. It came from the factory set
up for skis and floats. I have personally owned the plane for the last 17
years. N820AK is
equipped with Federal model 3200 hydraulic main wheel skis and a Federal 3000
tail ski in the winter. In the summer I switch The engine is
preheated in the winter with a thermostat controlled “Little Big Heat” heater
placed in the engine compartment. If electricity is not available it can be
preheated using a camp stove carried in the extended baggage.
The fuel tanks hold 80 gallons of fuel and the plane cruises at around 160 MPH on tires and about 145 MPH when the skis are installed. Certified useful load for N820AK is 1410 pounds on wheels. |
