RE: Building the Hangar 9 Cessna 182 Skylane
Hello,
I have one of These... What a nice plane!
For a PowerPlant... The Fuji 50EI w/ onboard starter. WOW! 5.2 Hp Less weight than the G-38... And it completly fits inside. Nothing sticking out. With a 3-blade 18-10 Mejzlik carbon prop. Lots of power to spare.
I used All Digital servos. All Working Nav lights, Aftermarket front strut. Ultimate Spinner Polished & Chromed.
Still have to add brakes.
The first flight was great. I flick of a swith... A slow realistic start... Then The Fuji came to life! A fantastic sounding slow idle. After a short roll it took to the air. Cruise at about 1/3 throttle
No trimming req'd. Did roles like a dream. Great slow flight ..Amost a hover. Landed with 25% flaps... Very Nice, Soft & slow.
I will be posting pics and Video.
