Hello.
I consider buying the VMAR Cessna Skylane 182 for a 90 size engine and a 80” wingspan, but I have been discouraged by the various post in this page. The idea is to use it with an old Saito 120 and floats.
Thoughts welcome.
I think it's all a matter of budget, taste and other things.
I have one of these little VMAR Challengers and even though it probably isn't a top quality setup, I have had it for a while and it flies well and looks good.
VMAR kits are also typically cheaper than many other kits, at least here in Australia, so I guess you tend to get what you pay for.
I wouldn't write them off. If you like the plane and the price is right, it is without doubt easy to reinforce the airframe where you feel it's needed and improve in many other ways. You tend to do that with most ARF kits anyway.
Best regards
