Hi Ian,
Very nice looking 182!! This is Joe (a.k.a. Capt Micom) over in Arizona in the US. It is good to see the thread is still going. As some of you may know I lost my big 182 a year ago to another flyer that offered me a bunch-O-money for her. Anyway I am now building yet another one. I will be putting one of our “NEW” RCGF 60cc twins in it. We just got back from the flying field where I was testing the engine in an 18 pound (over 8 kg) Raven. This engine is turning a Xoar 24x10 prop at 7000 rpm on the ground and it will take the test plane vertical at less than 30% throttle. This engine is making a ridicules amount of power. I am going to take my time on this one because I want to change the paint scheme and a couple of other things that I did not like on the last one.
I will keep you all posted as it starts to come alone. Take Care & Keep’em Flying…..
Joe (Captmicom)
