Thanks for the advise, now tell me wich cessna 182 .40 will be the best for a whater fly with sea commander floats, and again wich engine will you fit in it. do you have any pictures of your plane tha I can see....???
hey man I'm pretty much new in to this and I like it, I've a ucan do3d 60 and my old trainer wich is the one on the picture it's a blast snow flying. thanks for all.
For a 40 size Cessna 182, go with the Great Planes ARF. I'm not sure of any 40 size 182 kits. The Great Planes ARF has a stellar reputation, and hey, it's a Cessna 182, so it's going to be a great flyer. Mine is a kit built Top Flite, 300+ hours over 3 years to get her airborne this last summer. I have cowl lights, NAV lights, a MARS rotating beacon, full cockpit kit, lighted dashboard, and GIJoe as a pilot. I built in flaps, a tail hatch, and a scale luggage compartment that conceals my switches, light controls, and fuel fill. It is fiberglassed with water based polyurethane, and painted with 2 part PPG automotive paint, and clear coated. It also has on board glow for extra insurance. 14 1/2 pounds ready for the air. The Magnum flys her extremely well and scale like. I putt around the sky at 1/2 - 2/3 throttle most of the time. I've got twenty or so flights on her this season. I'd be happy to answer any other questions you might have.
