RE: Cessna 182 arf
Looks nice. But some of the cheaper ARF's have a shelf paper like covering that tends to wrinkle and cannot be ironed tight. I'm not familiar with CMP models. But check with someone that is familiar with CMPbefore you pull the trigger.
As for my 1100 dollar H9 Cessna. I didn't pay 700 for my airframe, I paid 400. The engine was a little over 400 and the muffler was 35. The servos and wires and spinner , battery and liitle stuff was about another 200 from Tower. The rest was shipping.I am installing a reciever and switchthat I already had. I'm not sure why anyone would despute that.Iguess he got burned pretty badly. But that doesn't mean you have to. Shoparound. We can all learn from one another's mistakes.
