Default RE: CMP Cessna 182 Skylane

Just about done with it. Some items like the nose wheel linkage, instructions really don't say how to go about connecting. Alot is left up to the builder to decide. And, I really did a butcher job on the cowl! The engine is side mounted. I didn't use the plastic mount but used the mount (hangar 9) that I had when my Arrow was flying. Its 1 ounce heavier that the supplied mount. Gonna try and maiden it today.
I have to check to see if the balance (CG) is okay. This arf really doesn't have any pre-drilled holes etc. Your kinda on your own to figure it out. There aint alot of space for your hands behind the firewall. Makes it difficult to get anything tight up front. I will try and get a pic today of the completed plane and post here. She is really nice looking!!! Kinda like that blonde cheerleader you dreamt about in high school!!!!
