RE: Wendell Hostetler Cessna
I am building the Cessna 172 - It isn't a beginner plane. There isn't a assembly manual so you are on your own. I bought a kit but if I build another I will scratch build it. Here is a link to some of my photos - http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showt...ler+cessna+172

RE: Wendell Hostetler Cessna
NOT a beginner build for sure!!!
The parts need a little tweaking for fit,But it's all close enough. Just cut them big and sand them down to fit.
I bought a kit(182) Hand cut. Not all the parts fit but they do match the plans. It's my understanding that even the Laser cut kit's have a few problems also.
I believe that if i ever build another plane from Hostetler I would be better off cutting it my self also. All the info you need is on the plans you just have to study them and visualize what it looks like and it will come to you.
