Specs for Cessna 185
Following is the specs for the Cessna A185 Skywagon. Although I still have not applied my newly acquired knowledge of how to figure weight, humidity and temperature into performance for an airplane to your specific situation, I believe this plane is a good candidate to consider for your family and your 1800 feet airstrip at EL 1800 feet MSL, even on summer days.
As for the price, I was wrong. Some of the older well used aircraft with 260 hp can be had for 80 or 90 thousand, but for something with this spec you will probably need to spend six figures.
