Summary

Write an introductory description of the aircraft, possibly with a little history and/or relativity to other types. Please try to keep it factual rather than anecdotal or subjective. See the linked examples in the original post up top.

Model distinctions

Like the Cessna 100 series, the distinctions are seemingly never-ending as the models go from A to nearly Z (180A, 180B, 180H, 172N et al.) Some of these distinctions are quite important among types. The PA-18-105 vs the PA-18-150 for instance-- engine size and a few other things I'm sure.

Specifications

This is not required but is certainly appreciated by any who come after you doing their research. Here's a basic suggested list of specs to include:

Notable issues

There are some common performance considerations with some models, as well as some well-documented recurring points of interest that potential buyers should look out for. Lack of or exclusion from popular STCs, for instance.
