I'll echo what RCKen said 100%. The Cessna 182 is a 3rd or 4th kit plane.

Ken's recommendations are good. I'll add any of the stick-built trainers, such as the Goldberg Eagle, GP PT-40 or the Sig LT-40. All of these kits will give you step-by-step instructions, guidelines and hints.

Build it, do a nice covering job, and sell it. There's always a market for good, prebuilt trainers.

Good luck.
