Default RE: New CMP Cessna 182 .52 size

Just an FYI to everybody

DO NOT USE THE INCLUDED "hinge point/control arm" it is junk!
DO NOT USE THE INCLUDED "hinge points" at all J-U-N-K
I lost a extremely well built 182 to hinge failure after figuring that they were O.K.
Put alot of time and effort into self contained anti-collision lights, single point
DB-9 connector for flaps and aeileron control and on and on.
Watched her go into a tree after shedding the right aeileron in level flight.
Found each hinge point had sheared off at the pivot, points still epoxied into the wing and
aeileron.

I have a fuselage that hasn't been flown if anyone wants it cheap.
No Mo China Mo fo me
