Roly1129, Super job on the repaint of your Cessna. Looks like a nice clean job. The green looks real good w/the black trim. This is the .50 size, and not the 1.40?

sj3cub thanks for your comments. The one on the pics is the .50 size. I'm now working on repainting the 1.40 size just trying to choose a scheme.

Hello .Im looking to replace the nose landing gear on my cmp cessna 140 does anyone have any suggestions ? Thanks Carl

I used the Robart #654 on my 1.40 and .50

Hello Folks,

Looks like it has been a verrrrrry long time since anyone has posted to this thread......So I suppose I had best introduce myself......I am Mark and I am addicted to RC.......sighhhhh!!!!!!

HAHAHA

Anyways.....I just got this CMP Cessna 83" model from a fellow RC pilot who I wont name lest the wife shoots both of us....

Anyone have some idea of where I can find any of the factory included literature such as manuals and instructions for this beauty either online or from some place with adresses please?

I would love to find some lights for this bird and I will definitely swap out the nose gear for the Robarts strut as recommended also.
How did the interior kit from the Top Flight Cessna fit that Iread some people had gotten for this plane to try, as I also plan on suggesting to "She Who Must Be Obeyed" that a set of authentic looking Pilot and Passenger of the two of us would look ever so great in this beautiful plane, if I can find someone to make them at a reasonable cost to fit the size of this cockpit?
Pictures forthcoming soon also!

Any and all ideas, suggestions and assistance finding info and such would most definitely be gratefully accepted!!!!
Thanks for everything,
Mark

This is the mfgrs website ... they may be able to help with the manual.

I thought I wanted one until the wing failure issues surfaced. Good luck keeping the wing together! A beautiful plane, though.

Wildeone,
Thank you for your speedy response to my inquiry on this gorgeous model........I wrote emails to them just now and I hope to be able to report back on a satisfactory response from the factory about my needs on the manuals and literature and parts availability that I requested from the factory....I will let everyone know what Ifound out ASAP......or if anyone has a manual and literature they would be willing to scan and email to me I would be eternally grateful and willing to compensate someone for their time and materials if need be also......
Pictures coming soon as promised
Mark

Everyone,


Pictures included as promised!!!!!
