Just unpacked my Cessna 185. It cost me about $530 without floats ( In South Africa). Everything is well made and seem to be quite strong. The only thing that is worrying me is the weight (14.3 lb). I want to fit it with a 26 Zenoah gas engine. Making some calculations, the Cessna's wing loading comes to 40 oz/sq ft. Is this not a bit high? The recommended wing loading is 38.5 oz/sq ft with a 120 4 stroke. If there is anybody who has flown this plane how does it handle the high wing loading especially when landing? KMP has a video showing the Cessna fly and land. I am wondering what engine they have used in the test flight and what was the total flying weight ?
