Yeas ago I saw the Dynon Skyview HDX at a trade show and instantly fell in love.. “If only I had a plane…”
2017 I bought my 182.

Three weeks ago I finished the installation of the Skyview!

I haven’t been able to to fly it yet. With hellacious wind storms and holiday travel, I’ve yet to pull it out of the hangar. Hopefully this week when it stops snowing!
 
A friend owned a 182 and we once went farting around for lunch in it. I was impressed by how solid it felt compared to the 152/172s I'd been flying. I do remember him being particular about cowl flap settings and barking at me when we were in the pattern. That's a cool airplane.
 
It's a great airplane! Fairly easy to fly, but, yeah, there's a lot to manage coming from just black and red knobs.
It'll haul just about anything I put in it and take off in 500 feet!
