Hi,
I love Cessnas, I think they are absolutely beautiful airplanes and I would love to have a 182. My problem is I'm in college and I don't have very much money to spend on my beloved hobby.[

] I'm interested in three of the models that are currently on the market. The Top Flite kit, the Great Planes ARF, and of course the big Haqnger 9. I have a specific idea of what I want as far as a covering job goes. I like the new style 182 more than the old style and I can customize the Top-Flite to look like that, but then again the H9 comes the way I want it all ready. Size wize though, the Top-Flite is a happy medium, it would be relatively economical with a .75 two-stroke and I could always have someone make it for me...how much is that? I could always recover the Great Planes one. OK...I'm going on a tangent here. If anyone can help me out here I would appreciate it a lot.
Eric
