Cessna 182 Skylane

Quality ARF replica of the "SUV of Civil Aviation"

The appeal of scale civil airplane ARFs is strong, and the Cessna 182 is one of the most recognizable airplanes of the last half century. Top Flite's detailed ARF model is sure to impress at the R/C flying field with its scale looks and performance. The attention to authentic touches is obvious at every turn, from the built-in lighting system to the twin radio antenna on the wing. What's even more remarkable is the gentle handling that makes this ARF a great choice for virtually any pilot.

Features:

Factory-built wood sections and factory-applied Cessna-style trim scheme reduce assembly time to just 18 - 25 hours.
Painted fiberglass parts include not only traditional time savers like the cowl and wheel pants, but added extras like the one-piece wing, landing gear struts, Horner wing tips, and molded-in corrugations for control surfaces.
The factory-installed lighting system includes a red Mars beacon on top of the fin as well as landing and navigational lights.
The full cockpit interior includes seats and sides plus a redesigned, extraordinarily realistic 3D instrument panel. Details include raised dials and control yokes as well as color graphics.
The accessory package includes staples like the steerable nose wheel plus extras like the polished aluminum spinner.
Performance is great with either glow or brushless electric power.
Easy to see and flies well in most wind conditions.

Wingspan: 81 in (2060 mm)

Pawnee 15e in flight Piper Pawnee 15e                  
E-Flite Piper Pawnee 15e   Enjoy the absolute thrill of electric flight. With a wing span of 60" this bird is great.     Contributing to the Pawnee’s extraordinary performance is the low wing and semi-horner tip design that further improves the low speed handling so it maneuvers well even in somewhat confined areas. The flaps come pre-installed, but not yet cut out, so the modeler can elect to fly with or without them. The Pawnee has a lightweight, one-piece bolt-on wing that attaches to the fuselage with balsa struts. Its main undercarriage and landing gear are recreated with durable aluminum while scale Cub wheels facilitate smooth takeoffs and landings.

At The Hobby Express we do the best that we can with prices.  We are not an online shop and don't pretend to be.  Support your local hobby shops and you will continue to have the ability to come in and have a place that can help you when you need it whether with cars, planes, or helicopters.  Our prices are competitive with online retailers especially when you add their shipping charges into the price.  Come on in and we will compare the price (all the way to check out)!  Feel free to bring in your project and get the assistance that you need and a good place to work on it right here!

All special orders must be prepaid.  With a prepay on items that are not stocked in the shop, you will only pay dealer price plus 10% and NO SHIPPING CHARGES!  You must ask for this deal at the time the order is taken.  Just mention the 10% above dealer web special! 

In the hobby business it is hard sometimes to tell the kids from the adults!  Come on and enjoy the hobby.  Shop locally and support your local clubs, flying fields, and race track.  Join us for flying fun or the thrill of racing.  There are literally 1000's of people young and old that are in the hobby as a sport or just for fun!  Get involved and you will see why.
