Default RE: Top Flite Cessna 182 build

Well I finally broke down. I decided that once I am done with this plane, I am going to sell it.Not that I don't like it, it's just that there are(well were) some things I wanted to do with this plane but I'm at the point where it's almost to late. So I'm just going to finish this plane, probably not even fly it, sell it, and pick up another one(That is if for some reason I don't get the one from cadconversions, I would probably end up keeping that one and finish in a different scheme) and also order a 1/5 TF giant corsair to build as well. Hopefully the money I get form selling this plane(I have seen them sell for around $1500, but I wont be looking for that much) I can get both kits and have money left over for the accessories.

My initial goal for this plane was to have full rivet and panel lines along with a completely decked-out interior, but I figure I will save that for the next bird. But when I sell this it will have a complete interior installed, just not the way I'm thinking of for the next bird. I will also make sure I do a build thread on both planes, Just because they are fun.

For anyone who is thinking about wanting to buy it, in a nut shell it will be glassed with 3/4oz cloth, robostrut up front, full interior and lighting, Futaba electronics(Still debating if I want to keep the receiver or not), and most likely a .91 2 stroke or a 4 stroke if I can find it cheap enough, I'm saving the Saito 100 Twin for the next bird.

Sorry to high jack the thread man, but just thought I would put it out there since this thread is infact about the TF Cessna.
