Default RE: Flyzone Cessna 182 RTF

finally fixed my cessna and is ready for another flight.


i used gorilla glue to fix the front part of the cowl and held it in place with packing tape...the spinner and prop and the motor was provided by my friend. thanks Dan!

I got a little creative and cut out the "fake" air intake, or whatever it is, and replaced it with a mesh screen. I know thats not scale, but, its unique. i like it.

I also had to bend back the nose wheel strut. It was bent severely to one side so i bent it back.

Heres another angle...

i cut a little hole in the rear window so air can pass through to cool down the electronics. dont ask me why i cut it like that...i was tired and i still had to fix my friends cessna.

here is a closer picture of the cut out i did with the mesh screen. the packing tape saved me alot of money because when i crashed it nose first, the cowl didnt break (except the area i DIDNT tape up) everything else was good!

I thought i'd throw this in the mix, looks like you are really in a REAL cessna doesnt it?? well..minus the wires.. lol

well i hope this was informative to the people that have this plane. i REALLY enjoyed my maiden flight and cant wait to fly more! thank you for your time. and fly with confidence!
