Description
This highly modified Cessna 180 is ready for four-season flying, whether it's flying into a remote lake for fishing, landing on a snow-covered lake in the winter or using the standard wheels for paved runways. It is upgraded with a Robertson STOL kit, and the floats can each carry two 6-gallon jerry cans of fuel for remote locations. If you want to carry external loads like a canoe, it has the attachments for it as well as a foldable boat. This is ideal for Alaska, Canada or Northern US bush or fun flying!
