RE: Sureflite Cessna 182
The power set up is a cheap one. I have a Magnetic Mayhem(r), GD600 gear box with the highest ratio, 12X6 APC E prop, 8,9,10 cell packs. The pack in the pic is a 9 cell 1400 mah nicd. I have a 10 cell 3000 nimh pack for it. I just don't have a charger that will charge it at over 1 amp. Even on the 1400 pack I can get 7 minutes.
The old one I had just did to many figure 9's. I used 2 inch wide fiber glass tape top and bottom and it was fine. If you look real close in the pic of my cub you can see the tape under the covering. it is the wrinkle next to the servo. I did not like the way the 21st Century fabric went on. It had a lot of bubbles and places it did not stick to the foam. If I was to do it again it would be done with Ultra Coat or the like.
