I flew the 172SP, N and a really old one a long time ago. Recently just the SP fuel injected version. So, I'm looking for a rc 172 model to build to try and match the last 172 I flew in real life.
It has been a difficult search! You would think such a common aircraft would be emulated in the rc world and be abundant, but it is just the opposite!
I found the Marutaka (Royal) Cessna172 R/C Balsa Kit on Ebay for $288.00 but that is way out of my price range. It is the perfect size with the 56" wingspan, and it's too bad they are out of business.
So, my question is, where can I find a 172 in the (around) 56" wingspan size? The 182 would probably work too.
I know the really big scale planes are available to build, but the mid-sized (50-60" wingspan) are really hard to find in kit form. I can find ARF's, and the like, all day long, but kits are another story.
