Cessna 180

Cessna 180 belongs to a vast family of sports training and high-wing Cessna, which since the end of WWII. World War II pillar of general aviation outside the former Soviet bloc. Just as in the cabins of real Cessen have trained hundreds of pilots, our scale model of the perfect first step for modelers who wants to start building minimakety powered by rubber (as a general model for the acquisition of basic experience with classical building is recommended to first build eg. One of the gliders A3 or A1 as our Sojka, Owl, Sparkle or Olympic). You learn to build "žbrdličkovou" skeleton of the fuselage and wings, work with vacuum-molded plastic parts, covering paper - just all the basic skills of classical modelařiny. While that building is not much they expect hundreds of hours in the workshop, thanks to a highly preprocessed parts it goes like clockwork.

Designers freely flying semiscales American sport aircraft designed to drive by rubber. The model is very simple classical balsa structure in Rozsyp with předseknutými wooden parts, scale accessories made of vacuum-molded plastic and plastic injection molding drawn by Dill

The Cessna 180 is also suitable for conversion to a miniature RC model with electric drive - although the construction plan of variants of this offer, for more experienced modeller and the pilot would not be a big problem. For example, you can try to use the drive unit, and cabin electronics from our Mini Bee.

Kit contains: balsa předseknuté parts, balsa wood beams, vacuum-molded parts (bonnet), a plastic propeller shaft and head, rubber harness, plastic wheels, steel strings on chassis and other small parts, plasticine as a burden, lining paper sheet wet decals , construction plan.

Tip for construction: Předseknuté parts NEVYLAMUJTE! Turn the plank, place it on a work surface and lightly sand the fine sandpaper (no. 220 or finer). The parts can then be easily separated; if they still have some wood fibers "tied" to a cutting board, carefully separate the part of the pattern, using a sharp knife (suitable eg. Excel No.1 knife with a blade No.11).

Treatment of rubber harness: The new rubber carefully wash it in soapy water and allow to dry. Then, lubricate it with castor oil (sold in pharmacies) or silicone grease to lubricate fishing lines (available in most stores fishing equipment). After flying harness with the model, remove and store it in a sealed plastic bag. Lubricated rubber volume unfolds smoothly and with less friction - provides more power and last longer. The new bundle is also advisable to first fetch - for the first 2-3 years to film only 80-100 rpm, only then can safely shoot more.
