Thats the same plane I used when I decided to get back into the hobby.I took a 10yr break and flew the 182 no problem.Its a fun little plane.I was told not to fly it in anything more than a slight breeze but as I got my confidance back I flew it in some strong wind.If you are flying off grass I would suggest you remove the landing gear....that was the first thing to go.Its a tough little plane.....and when I did crash most repairs were done with foam safe CA and a kicker.
