Default RE: Cessna 182

I built the Pica a few years back, very nice airplane, had it all decked out, weighed 15 lbs, power ST 2000, used it with floats also, perfect combination. Size wise it is much more impressive than the Top Flite, it however is not as scale looking in the cowling-windshield area, very strong airplane, easy build, however didn't like the precut sheeting that Pica provides, the corrugation on the flight controls must be made, none is supplied in the kit, easily done with plastic triangle material, though time consuming. Final analysis, an airplane that will make you proud, great flyer, but watch out on the stall, it will snap and spin, I built 4 or 5 different Cessnas, they all do the same, it has to do with the tapered wings. Don't know where the pictures are, if I find them I'll post them.
