Default RE: Who owned a Cessna 182, please help me!!!


ORIGINAL: kid4l0ve

- An iron piece fell out of my airplane when I opened the box. I asked the seller about that and he reply to ''glue into front nose with supplied glue .It's all the against the bottom of the fuselage against firewall inside Plane''. I dont understand about that. So, can you help me locate exactly where it is on a picture? I'm so newbie >''<

-Another question is that it is hard to plug in and out the battery. So, how to turn it on and off regularly?
Thank you verymuch!
If you look inside the nose of the plane, you will find a "cut out" in the foam for the battery. Once you find the cut out AND VERIFY THAT THE WEIGHT FITS IN IT, I suggest using 30 minute epoxy to secure the weight in place.

You will still need to balance the plane before flying it.

I suggest getting some of the lead weights sold by Tower. They can be broken off in 1/4 oz sections. I would not trust the adhesive on the weights - I use FOAM SAFE CA for securing the weights. The manual will provide the balance point.
