Exceptional quality. Fine scale detail. and Fast, almost ready-to-fly assembly. Rarely does one
model earn all three of those descriptions, but the Great Planes Cessna 182 Skylane is no ordinary
ARF. Manufactured with such choice materials as wood, fiberglass, and Top Flite MonoKote
covering, it looks great... is better built than most kits... and takes only 15-20 hours to assemble!

---Bulkheads and stringers form the fuselage, which lowers the flying weight and improves the scale appearance.
---Dual servos add precision to aileron response and provide the safety of a back-up in case one servo fails.
---Wing struts are airfoil-shaped to add realism and minimize drag — included "boots" provide a smooth fairing
where the struts connect to the wing and fuselage.
---Strong, pre-painted fiberglass wingtips recreate the full-size planes' Hoerner style wingtips and improve stall
characteristics.
---Includes aluminum landing gear and durable fiberglass wheel pants, both painted for that scale look.
Great Planes constructed this Cessna ARF just like a skilled modeler would do it himself, given unlimited time and building expertise. The strong, interlocking wood framework is surrounded by high-gloss, easily repairable MonoKote film.

The Cessna's cowl, tail cone, wingtips and wheel pants are all made of durable, factory-painted fiberglass. To install the tail cone, you just glue it into place—and avoid the long, difficult process of building one from wood.
