Default RE: Top Flite Cessna 182 build

Nzak,

I am going to make it as scale as I can, within reason. I'm not one to simulate thousands of rivets... I'm leaning towards a Saito 100 twin for power, but it is very expensive at $500.

How would you put fuel in the wing? Do you have a bladder type fuel tank or something? The wing is only about 1.75" thick.

I'm wondering what the effects of a heavy engine (the Saito Twin, or the BME gas 90) will be on flight. Anyone have experience with this?

Finished the fin last night. Next up is the rudder and then I start on the wings!
