Hi all Just got my new Minicraft Cessna 182 Skylane, so I thought I would do a build and flight report on it for everyone to read......
I must say that the kit looks to be of great quality. The balsa looks to be great quality and the covering is absolutely awesome. There was only a few tiny wrinkles on one of the wing panels, which will be taken out very soon with the iron. The kit is very complete with everything you need except for the engine and radio gear. The fuse is huge and you could put a small animal inside it for a pilot..... (Lookout kitty cat!!!!)
It is a very scale looking aircraft and comes complete with wing struts.
I plan on adding some more scale detail such as landing lights and radio aerials as I go. So any hints or tips please let me know!!
Here are some photos of the major parts.
