That was beautiful! how hard was it to make the doors operable and did it affect the strength of the fuse?

I actually never built mine. It is still in the box all these years later. I haven't have flown in about 7 years now. Not sure if I ever will get back into it.

Thanks, that's good to know. Since I have the DLE30 I'll probably stick with that but I really like the idea of going electric. Are you running a two blade or three blade prop? how many minutes do...

Marco, that is what I finally settled on. I have a DLE30 rear carb model to put on it. My question to you is does it fit completely within the cowl or did you have to cut part of it?

RE: Building the Hangar 9 Cessna 182 Skylane

That looks great. So in reality you are flying with the equivalent of a 12s 5000 MAH Lipo? What is the C rating of the packs you are using?

RE: Building the Hangar 9 Cessna 182 Skylane

I completely agree with you there. I did reinforce the firewall where I mounted the Sierra nose gear to give it more stability.

RE: Building the Hangar 9 Cessna 182 Skylane

I'm not sure I understand your question, but you could use very thin plywood 1/16" or 1/32" to match the shape of the rails and paint it to look like metal. If you need it to slide then you could try...

RE: Building the Hangar 9 Cessna 182 Skylane

I'm glad to see that Hangar 9 has re-released the 182 Skylane. I too would rather have clear windows. Of course I still haven't finished my 182, but now I think I'm going to use a Saito 180 Golden...
