Top Flite Cessna 182 Skylane

I managed to get a little more done on the Cesnna . At this rate I might get it done by the next GAD[ General aviation Day ] I finished the bottom by making a template with paper and then cut it out the Monokote. I don't know if that's the right way, but it has been working for me. Next I need to do the sides. Here's the latest pictures.

The 'right way' is to buy the ARF
I applaud your skill and tenacity!!

I'm trying to figure out the best way to handle the sign on the side of the fuselage. Here is picture of the process. This could take some time.

When I was younger I would say "I would rather build than buy an ARF ". Now I remember why I started buying ARFs !!
I did get a little more done on the fuselage. Here's the pictures.

Now that I got the Left side done and I worked on the other side.

Here's more pictures.

I FINALLY FINISHED COVERING THE FUSELAGE !!! This has been the hardest fuselage I have every covered and I'm glad it is done. I hoping the Wing will be a lot easier. Next I need to install the Rudder and the Stabilizer.

Well I made a little more progress on the Cessna. I got the Rudder and the Elevator installed and hooked up the control rods. If I can keep at it I might actually get 'r' done.

Just went to your first post....Dec 14,2011! If you don't get it finished by midnight, you will start your 6th calendar year! Not a record, of course. I'm sure I hold that!
