Cessna 180 belongs to the large family of sports and training high-wing Cessna, which since the end of WWII. World War II pillar general aviation outside the former Soviet bloc. Just as in the cockpits of real Cessen trained hundreds of pilots, our scale model of the ideal first step for modelers who want to start building minimakety powered by rubber (as the very model of obtaining experience with classical building is recommended to build as one of the gliders A3 or A1 as our Sojka, Sova, sparks or Olympic). You will learn to build "žbrdličkovou" fuselage and wings, working with vacuum-molded plastic parts, coated paper - just all the basic skills of classical modelařiny. At the same time the building is not much you expect hundreds of hours in the workshop thanks to a highly preprocessed parts it goes like clockwork.
Kit semiscales free-flying American sport aircraft designed for drive by rubber. The model is very simple classic balsa construction in Rozsyp with předseknutými wooden parts, scale accessories from vacuum-molded plastic and plastic injection molding drawn by Dill
Cessna 180 is also suitable for conversion to a miniature RC model with electric drive - although this construction plan of variants offer for experienced modeller and the pilot would not be a big problem. For example, you can try to use the drive unit and onboard electronics of our Mini Bee.
Kit includes: předseknuté balsa parts, balsa wood beams, vacuum-molded parts (engine cover), plastic propeller shaft and head, rubber harness, plastic wheels, steel strings on chassis and other small parts, plasticine as a burden, paper coating, wet sheet of decals , building plan.
Tip for building: Předseknuté parts NEVYLAMUJTE! Turn the cutting board, place it on a work surface and lightly sand the fine sandpaper (No. 220 or finer). Parts can then be easily separated; should still have some wood fibers "bound" to a cutting board, carefully separate the part of the pattern, using a sharp knife (suitable as Excel No.1 knife with a blade 11).
Treatment of rubber volume: a new eraser gently wash it in soapy water and allow to dry. Then lubricate it with castor oil (sold in pharmacies) or silicone grease for the lubrication of fishing line (you get the fishing tackle shops). After flying with the volume model, remove and store it in a sealed plastic bag. Lubricated rubber volume depends more smoothly and with less friction - gives more power and last longer. The new volume is also advisable to first fetch - for the first 2-3 years only to turn the 80-100 revolutions before it can safely shoot more.
