My son and I want to do some back country camping. A nice bush plane would be great to have, but so would a Hughes 500D. To bad the budget doesn’t allow this. We watched a U Tube how the -10 beat out a Cessna 182 in almost every category so we thought how about removing the wheel pants and tossing on larger diameter tires.
Looking for any major negatives with this. Negatives I see are low wings so you need to be aware of hazards to the wing, slower, because of drag. Considering how a Cessna 182 performs, except for the low wings, the -10 out performs the 182 in most categories. The 182 is a decent back county plane, so the -10 should be equal or better. Has anyone made their 10 a back country type airplane for a trip?
