Worlds first 35% TMMY Scale Composite Cessna 182 Skylane TC with 4-cylinder 4-stroke gas engine!!

After four years (3 waiting for the engine) the plane is finally finished.

It took quite a bit of doing to get that engine to work in this plane but it's finally in the air.

Ahh, that Four Stroke sound!

Maiden flight here:

Ask you to do some detailed photos of the engine compartment model. Regards, Sergey.

Yes, I have tons of detailed info, pictures, and video. I am working on a build video to cover it all. Stay tuned.

Hey spider what oil are you running? I ran Belray for a while but it caused too much gumming on the exhaust valves. I switched to redline and it totally changed the engine. No more sticky exhaust valves and it starts real easy by hand

Unfortunately, my model Cessna-182 (4 meters) has been damaged. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4wDwLq2Ghk
Motor stopped on the landing.
At the ground plane caught the right wing over the fence.)

Required spare parts-

1. Stabilizer with elevator.
2. Right wing with the aileron, flap and light (complete).
3. The ending of the fuselage (cone - cap).

Did someone have such parts ??

Sergey, sad to see this. Hope you find the cause why the engine stopped. I guess the best source for parts, would contact timmy. Good luck ::::

Spidernad. Do you have 4 carb's on your new motor ????. Or 2 ???. Years a go i use to race motocycles. With 4 carbs. This was a honda v-65. At the moto shop u can pick up a carb vaccum guage. It has dials on it . Get your motor running, let it warm up. Depending on the number of carbs, you can sink each carb by the vaccum dial guage. Just a thought. Looking forward too see another viedo.

August 20 this year, I made an order to produce the right wing.
September 20 Tommy said about the end of the work.
It is made entirely plane for me for about six months.

I answered your question, dear Saul?
