Radio Controlled, Almost-Ready-to-Fly
Great Planes Cessna Skylane 182 Airplane Kit.
For an Intermediate Modeler as a second or third airplane.
Recommended for modelers who have had trainer airplane experience
and want to build basic aerobatic skills.
FEATURES: All Wood Construction of balsa and plywood. Covering is
expertly applied Top Flite MonoKote in a Cessna Skylane color scheme
of white and red with black and gray striping. Fuselage is formed by
bulkheads and stringers for less flying weight and improved scale
appearance. Wings have an interlocking wood framework for strength.
Wing struts are airfoil-shaped for less drag and include mounting
boots to provide a smooth fairing at the wing and fuselage. Cowling,
tail cone, and wheel pants are made of fiberglass, and are factory
painted/striped to match for scale appearance. Wing tips are also
pre-painted fiberglass w/Hoerner design to re- create the full-size
plane's looks & improve stall characteristics. Canopy and side
windows are clear. Landing gear is pre-formed aluminum and factory
painted white. Dual aileron servos add precision to aileron
response. Hardware included is from Great Planes. Building time is
15 to 20 hours. Warranty: Great Planes Model Mfg. Co. guarantees
