Guys (and Ladies) - ITEM IS GONE
A year ago or so, I was given a Top Flite Cessna. With my purchase of many of Dave's fleet, and more recently a tri-plane, there is no way for me to realistically repair the Cessna and store it in the garage. As per pictures, the Cessna does requires work (cosmetic mostly) and some minor work on structure to put back in flying condition. No servos but engine is included - I never remoived cowling so could not state what engine is in there As this was given to me, I'm not looking to sell it but would rather give it to someone who wants to repair and fly it Priority will be given to our club members. As per pictures, maybe a month's work required so lots of time to get this ready for upcoming summer. I also have the wing. As a bonus, I also have the unused cockpit kit and new canopy/window kit which I'll make a great deal to whomever wants the plane The ONLY caveat here is that the plane is to be built and flown AND NOT sold as parts (I could do that) Perfect opportunity if you have some time and space for a gently flyer. Top Flite Cessna 182Let me know if interested. Attachments:

I'll give first dibs to previous owner if he wants it back (sent him a PM), if not then it will be available to club members first and members of other clubs afterwards

By the specs on the linked website it should have either a 91 2 cycle to 1.20 4 cycle engine it and should weight in between 10-12 lbs. I could be interested in putting it back in flying condition. How many servos will it require Marc? I have several MG servos and a half dozen 1/4 scale servos available for the project.
I've finally made up my mind (AKA my wife's mind) not to move to BC this coming year (or at least not until the fall/winter of 2017) I need to see how far our pensions will get us here in NS before any move.
This all means I'll be around for the entire 2017 flying season.

Give the kids a suitcase, and one-way bus ticket. Your pension will go so much further! PS, there's no room in there for 1/4 scale servos, if it needs them, go hi-torque on the elevator and ailerons, standard on all else. Plan for it to require a lot of weight in the nose, unless you've got an old clunker of a 1.20. It will not weigh 12 pounds, unless you cut half the wings off, Leeann's was I think about 13.5 pounds, but flew wonderfully, and with those flaps, a real floater.
