Product information

The CESSNA 182 is a development of the proven CESSNA 170 and 172. Changes compared to the 172 include a more powerful engine, enabling the aircraft to operate from shorter strips without problem. In designing our model we placed very great importance on its external appearance, but without sacrificing flying characteristics and performance. The selected airfoil endows the CESSNA 182 with an impressively broad speed range which is particularly evident at landing time: the CESSNA 182 can be flown very slowly on the landing approach, and looks extremely realistic in this phase of flight. The model is highly pre-fabricated, and requires little work to complete. Assembly consists of joining the two wing panels, gluing the tail panels to the fuselage and installing the glowplug motor and RC components. The rudder and elevator linkages exploit the proven Direct-Steel-System (DSS), which ensures slop-free linkages to both control surfaces.
