Default RE: CMP Cessna 182

Hi I'm currenlty considering between the Great Planes and the CMP Cessna 182, I've searched the forums and there's not a lot of feed back on the CMP whereas there are a lot of happy GP 182 owners (and some disgruntled ones), can you comment on the flying characteristics of the CMP model?

Looking at the number I see that the GP has a lighter wing loading (GP -> 71 gr / dm2 vs CMP 78-82gr / dm2) that's almos ten grams extra per square decimeter, even though the CMP Model is lighter that the Great Planes ( CMP -> 2.5 ~2.65 kg vs GP-> 2.7 Kg) I guess that the extra wingspan from the GP help a lot ( GP-> 65.5" vs CMP 63")

Thanks for your inputs

Vinny
