What's the best CERTIFIED 4-place rough country plane? Bushmaster? Maule? C185?

That was my old Pacer 2814Z. It is up in the north east now.

How did it fly with the engine in back? I know it takes a while to get the tail up when I have two adults in back.

Just felt like it was loaded. A little tailwheel shimmy at my first fuel stop. I had tools and accessories loaded after the photo was taken but it was still withing CG and GW.

I just read the entire thread. Wow, thanks for sharing it. When the time comes to purchase an engine for my Tailwind, I know how I’m going to pick it up and bring it home.

I not surprised, widening a PA 18 is a lot more complicated than lengthening a PA 22.

For sale now: a four place cub. For $240K a Bushmaster is looking pretty good compared to the cub!

If you paid someone to do all the work it probably wouldn’t be much less expensive.
