Still waiting for mine 2 and a half years now

Sergey, did you just get a wing or the whole plane in that time? I'm still wondering why mine is taking so long. Has anyone had a big cessna completed in the last 2 years?

Parrot Girl, I haven't read the whole thread but spot check it at times.......I hope you haven't sent your money in advance. It is a beautiful aircraft and many people would like to have it in their hanger. This kind of service is unacceptable to me....hope it turns out well for you...best wishes, Sebo

My story is as follows.

In January 2012, I ordered the manufacture of aircraft Tommy.
Paid the entire amount immediately.
In June 2012, the model was ready.
In the autumn of 2013, Tommy wrote to me that, unfortunately, the death of his chief assistant.
Therefore, it will slow down the entire production.
Probably this is the reason of large production time.

The right wing of the second he told me made quickly.
Apparently was blank.


Tommy is a very decent man.
Sincerely, SergeY.

It's hard to believe that this thread that I started is over 6 years old and still going strong. I'm happy to see that I have been able to bring everyone a little happiness and fun. It's such a well made plane. Now I need to practice what I preach and buy one myself��.

I am considering selling my recently completed 35% TMMY Cessna. It is the only one with a 4-stroke 4-cylinder engine. It also has the radio controlled active yoke system that I designed and built.
I will post some videos below showing the maiden flight, which is the only flight on the plane. It was a great flight and the plane performed excellent.
I have had to focus on my business and don't have time to get to the field.
I would like to see the plane go to a good home where someone can take advantage of all my hard work.

That is definitely a fair price. Especially considering the plane costs $3500 and can take up to a year to be custom built. I would recommend putting it on the RCU market. It'll sell quickly. Cessnas always do.

Hi,
I'm wondering if any present owners can give me info on the brake installation.
This is a pretty old thread and all the sources mentioned for brakes are gone or don't carry them ant more.
Thanks,
Jon

Try Dubro and BVM Jets. They sell brakes.

The problem is the 7" wheels.
largest Robart has is 6 ".
Dubro's is the old mechanical brakes.
check various jet sites but none will work without a lot of work.

Try century jet models. They can custom make landing gear and brakes. They even have various brakes of all sizes and braking systems in stock.
