Default Modeltech Cessna 182

Hi all,
Started a Cessna 182 ARC. Bought this from a friend who sadly passed away a couple of years ago. I think this is more of an 'assembly' job than a build as all the hard work has been done. Foam wing, stab, elevator, rudder and fin cores. All sheeted. Fuselage fully sheeted. Quality is quite good.

So far I have glassed everything and started to use a spot putty to help fill the weave and slight hollows. Will be incorporating hidden elevator and rudder controls under an access hatch on the tail. Thought it would look more scale this way.

The kit came with small servo sized holes for the 2 ailerons and a single flap servo. I have modified by creating servo boxes to lay them on their sides for both aileron and flaps. Also added an additional flap servos.

For the engine I will be fitting up a CRRC 26 petrol engine. The fit up for this involved the removal of most of the hardwood engine bearers but they also acted as a pattern for the engine box I added to ensure I stuck with the intended right thrust built in.

I intend to make an inner cowl plate/ring so I can secure the cowl from inside so I don't have any screws going through the glass.

Hi, I've just recently purchased a second hand ARF, the problem is there is no manual. Will you be able to assist with details?
