Today I test flew my T.F. Cessna 182 ARF with the "stone age" C/G set up. Sweet...two clicks of up elevator, three clicks of right aileron and that was it. Nice bird., successful maiden flight. It was overcast and a little windy today and I did manage to bent the nose gear a little landing (I'll take the blame for that). It still has the known to be weak stock nose gear and it was not my best set down so I'll straighten it and try it again before going for a nose gear upgrade. This is a third hand, used, "bargain priced" 182 that I rescued; 3 months of on and off repair and redoing paid off with another nice airplane in the hanger.
