Default Cessna 182 Kits?

Are there any other kits of the 182 other than the Top Flight 81" wing?

Maybe one a little smaller? or bigger, just looking for options.

You can go BIG with Hostetler's 120" Cessna: http://www.hostetlersplans.com/ and also: http://www.hostetlersplans.com/cessna182.html

But I doubt that iswhat you are wanting. Not much that isn't your tired 182 ARF in red/white

Well, there is the Great Planes Cessna ARF with about 63" wing span. Granted, it is more expensive than a kit, but you could recover it to your liking. See this thread for my idea

http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_52..._7/key_/tm.htm go to post #165 or thereabouts.

I built the Top Flite kit and the one nice thing about a kit is you can cover it in any color or combo you want mine just happens to be white/red/black.

Just checking it out for a friend, he really wants a kit and not an arf, but 81" seems a bit big for him.

Aprreciate the comments so far, and if anyone is aware of a kit thats a little smaller I'd love to hear about it.

Thanks,
