5. You must test the operation of the model before every
flight to insure that all equipment is operating and you must
make certain that the model has remained structurally
sound. Be sure to check clevises or other connectors often
and replace them if they show signs of wear or fatigue.
Remember: Take your time and follow directions to end
up with a well-built model that is straight and true.

Engine Selection
There are several engines that will work well in your
Cessna 182 ARF. We recommend a 2-stroke such as an
O.S.
® .40 LA, O.S. .40 FX, O.S. .46 FX, or the
SuperTigre ® GS-40 or GS-45. For unsurpassed power
and realistic sound, an O.S. FS-52 4-stroke can’t be beat.
DECISIONS YOU MUST MAKE
