Re: Top Flite Cessna 182 Skylane
I got the Flaps and Ailerons Epoxied in place. Next comes the wing tips. At this point, it's like working on an ARF.

Re: Top Flite Cessna 182 Skylane
I got the Flaps covered. Next is the ailerons and that will be the last of the covering. I also found a easy way to clear the Monokote that covers the holes for the pin hinges. I used a small soldering iron and burned out the covering. It made a nice clean hole.

Re: Top Flite Cessna 182 Skylane
OK I finally got back on the Cessna.
I started covering the wing. I started on the bottom first. Next is the top and then the flaps and ailerons. Then I'll be ready to install all the servos and add the Decals. I'm going to try to get it ready before the next meeting.
