Description
This classic 180 has all the modern upgrades to make it a formidable taildragger for cruising or back-country adventures.

A fresh panel has been re-imagined with Garmin G5s, GNX-375 WAAS, GNS-430W WAAS, GTR-205 Com, EDM-930 Engine Monitor and S-Tec 50 autopilot with GPSS. What a bird for showing off or working hard!
