RE: Super Cessna by Shulman Aviation

Finally got some graphics on my Super Cessna. The one's included are a bit small for my taste so I spiced it up a bit.

Also was able to have a new video shot while I was out last week. Here it...

RE: Super Cessna by Shulman Aviation

Now that your Super Cessna is done, kick back and enjoy looking at your new plane. Not too long cause the real fun comes when you fly it. Here's some pics of mine after a successful day of 'test'...

RE: Super Cessna by Shulman Aviation

Only a few things left now to do. Mount the prop (and spinner if you have one), 12x10 APC-E if using the Fury motor, before checking your CG. Check your Cessna with your battery so that the CG is at...

RE: Super Cessna by Shulman Aviation

Add a small hole in the front of the cowling for some air intake. Using a dime as a template, trace around it about 1/2" below the current opening. Using a dremel, open it up and finish it off with...

RE: Super Cessna by Shulman Aviation

Now the fun part, the pull-pull set-up.

First set-up your servo arm with the 3 screw down adjusters on it. Drill out the servo arms (I think #50 drill bit) so they are free to rotate in the arm,...

Gather up all the parts for the rudder at once so these next 2 steps go quicker. First place a horn on the rudder (plane on it's side) and get the horn base right up to the...

Elevator pushrod.

I also did this differently from the instructions, with a Z-bend and a swivel link. Needed is the carbon pre-assembled pushrod and swivel link assembly. I don't have a picture...

RE: Super Cessna by Shulman Aviation

Once the ailerons are dried and you have CA'd the hinges in securely, it's time to hook-up the aileron servo.

First screw on the horns to the torque rods. Get them even height with each other,...

RE: Super Cessna by Shulman Aviation

These next few things will probably be the easiest part of the build... ESC and RX installation.

Normally I would solder on my Deans plug to the ESC before installing it, but I couldn't find any...

RE: Super Cessna by Shulman Aviation

While all the glue is drying, now's a good time to mount the cowling. You will need the 4 short self-tapping phillips screws (they look like short servo screws), a #50 and #55 drill bit and some thin...

RE: Super Cessna by Shulman Aviation

Hinging the ailerons is basically done the same way as the tail was. Only difference is you have to epoxy the torque rods into the aileron in addition to the CA hinges.

First scuff the torque...

Hinging

Starting with the elevator, slide the 4 hinges in the pre-slot cuts. They should slide in about half of the hinge length. If so, you can do what I did and skip the part about putting the...

RE: Super Cessna by Shulman Aviation

I got my Fury motor out and assembled it. Even though it is an electric motor, I still use a drop of blue thread lock on all the screws holding all the motor parts on. And when I...

RE: Super Cessna by Shulman Aviation

Yea, I've been without a fun plane for a while and figured it was time I put one together and had something stress free to fly.

I found a couple of old servos for the fuselage and centered them...

While the wing was drying, I bolted on the nose gear mount.

Now that everything is nice and tight, I test fit the wing panels together with the spar to see how I was going to get this done. 2 clamps, a rubber band and blue tape and I was almost ready.

RE: Super Cessna by Shulman Aviation

I grabbed a Red Cessna kit, Fury 41/50-570 motor and Fury F-55 ESC. Unpacked the plane and checked everything out. The motor box, aileron servo box and elevator pushrod are factory assembled.
