Hi Dave & all:
Here is the 182. I would not have had time to build the kit with all my other stuff so I got the ARF from Tower. Have to say it is the best ARF I ever assembled. I was planning on either my Zenoah 20Ei, or my Saito 1.00. But I talked to several guys that had the plane and they all agreed a .91 4-stroke was THE answer for the aircraft. Looking at the size and weight I figured if it's a .91 then it had to be my YS, it is a powerhouse.
Anyway, YS .91 Supercharged, MPI Glow ignitor-1.2V-3000mah, HiTec HS5645-MG's all the way, Nav & Landing lights 4.8V-2000mah, receiver AR7000 w/6.0V-1650mah, MPI switch/chg unit, Robart nose strut.
The lights are nice but I don't do much night flying (hell I can't see in the day time) but they will help the old guy on those gray days.
In the pics you can see her on my CG machine- perfect with no lead. I modified the floor to put the glow driver, battery and switch underneath, as is the Nav/landing light battery and was able to hit the CG with no extra weight.
One pic looks down into the cabin, the red LED is the Glow Ignitor "ON" indicator, throttle controlled. Landing lights are on transmitter AUX switch.
