I still haven't flown my 310 this year so it looks like it's time to pull it down from the wall. Flying my 310 results in a high...

RE: Top Flite Cessna 310 posted

If TopFlite will not supply us with the wood nacelles when selling us a new wing, why not just get us a copy of the plans ??

They don't necessarily need to supply us with the entire plan set for...

Great..........a paint and body guy !:D I'm certainly not a pro-painter, but I DO know how to operate both a spray gun and an airbrush.

RE: Top Flite Cessna 310 posted

1/4" carbon tubes are a great fix...............plenty strong without a lot of extra weight.

You're also going to need to pick up an 18" long x 1/4" drill bit. I got one from Production Tool...

Hi Sonny,

I don't have my Cessna sitting right here, but I believe that red cap is just that..........a red cap, or a cover. I believe the actual light is under the cap. My light works, but it...
