Re: Top Flite Cessna 182 I like it I already had decals made and the paint to go on it. I had two sons who were cadets in CAP and one of them and his wife are senior members (adult volunteer). He asked me to use the CAP livery, I did the samething to a SIG J3 Cub the kids got a kick out of it. If I could figure out how to do it I would post a picture of the Cub. |

A European Cessna 182 , that I came across on-line . I added the blue trim line. I wanted something that was simple with a minimum of taping although I do like Wavesdave 's paint scheme better as it is more modern looking. As for C of G , mine balanced at about the middle or slightly back of that but not much. In any case , I like the way it flies so won't mess with it. I use. A Sig balancer that I find works great and use it for pretty much everything I have. The second picture on my listing was just before my maiden flight and still had the aluminum main gear which was replaced with the fibreglass ARF version shortly after. |

Re: Top Flite Cessna 182 It was tail heavy, and required a lot of lead in the nose, but we found that the recommended CG range seemed to have it very nose heavy, so as previously mentioned, removed an ounce at a time until the glide, stall and turn characteristics were as they should be. |

Re: Top Flite Cessna 182 FYI . this is how I did my balance by moving the weight from inside the front batterycompartment to inside the front of the cowling. if I remember correctly I saved 6 oz in weight. quite a bit considering. I installed a ply ring inside the cowl and used 4/40 socket head screws to bolt into the bulkhead blocks and that way nothing through the cowl sides for a cleaner install. Only thing is you don't really want to do cowl off and on a lot as a bit of the pain but worth it. |
