Cut holes for servo wires.  Typical stuff...... Add your wing spar, then the wing shims about a 1/4 inch from the edge. Then glue it together like you would a spitfire wing for example. Front half then back half.  Easy peasy.

Glue the seam on the leading edge of the wing

Then get out your dihedral gauge.... Tape roll..  I didnt use any math here. haha

Then add your servos and servo horns..     If your wickedbad builder status you wont use Ez adjusters on your pushrods ;)        Like Josh Bixler.... Im cheap.   6 adjusters is worth more than the airframe itself lol.

Tail servos go in like this here...        (because of constant improvments, actual product may vary slightly from photo)

Bend some steel into the landing gear. The prints show you the shape of these. Get some grips, and a torch and this becomes stupid easy to do.  Or use what you got.  Got a crack in your garage floor? Vice!   be creative.

So here you can see how things go down.pun ..  3 lines. center axle and 2 lines for the axle supports. Basic but super effective

Another angle to see how to put it all together..  The Zip-ties loop through each other and aroud the side supports.  If you need to see it I learned the method in the Storch video. works good.  When you crash you just tweak it a bit and break a zip tie. Nothing that I couldn't fix bare handed, and with a zip-tie or two.. Whats pictured here is a gear thats on its 3rd plane. Rugged.

Close up to see how the 2 halves line up during the build.. Smear the glue nice and thick, over laping everything. Keeps its strong as nails.

And then bam.....  You got your self a Cessna.        The CG of this airframe is the wing spar.  Being slightly nose heavy is never a bad thing..

Well thats the build..   I hope lots of people are interested in builing this plane. Its been a fun learning process.  It was a goal of mine to make this available to all because I know thousands of people are proud owners, and even more have taken their first flights in a high wing Cessna just like this one. After all it is the most produced plane EVER! I know if I go outside right now I can either hear one or see one. Night or day.   I would love to see how other people outfit their planes.. I aim to paint this one used in the build, like an old Army serveillance aircraft.  I'm thinking I should get this in the forums also. Probably the best way to get feedback and see other builds.    Hope to see some at Flite Fest 15!     See ya there........
         Also if you would like to make a small donation for all my efforts you could meet me at Flight Fest 2015, at the Fury Cafe' and buy me a few of Ms. Fury's phenomenal pulled chicken sandwiches!!   Bomb.

Dont ya hate when people put crucial info at the end.? hahahaha

So it begins..

塞斯纳180电动模型飞机制作

Got most of the parts cut out for the fusalage. Because the fusalage is longer than a sheet i glued them together like josh does his wings.. I forgot hoe long cutting takes i have been cuting for 3+ houers.

Timmy I am going to create a spar using the classic dihedral brace. Yah im old school balsa guy. What you would do is take two wing half spars and then laminate the dihedral brace in some people even wrapped it in fiberglass tape.. Ever since I folded my tiny trainer sport wing. I don't trust foam spars.
This is what a dihedral brace looks like. Any idea the angle of the dihedral?

塞斯纳180电动模型飞机制作

Since you had the foam wrinkle issue I would suggest looking onto adding a wooden wing spar.. basically gluing it to the back of the wooden spar it should work.. I added a spar without a dihedral to my tiny trainer sport wing. Well actually 2. Mahogany strips.

Made some progress do i go ahead and put on the full bottom at this point ir wait tell the end.

Timmy P, thanks for the hard work you put into the pdf plans and all the information. I liked it so much I started my build yesterday. Plans are printed, taped, and cut out. I cut out all my foam board yesterday too. Today is assembly day. I'm using the black foam just to be different.   I'll be at Flite Fest too! See you there. Look for the black cessna with bright pink lettering.
I'll be using a Firepower 450 sport just because it's something that's been laying around for the past year and a half. I know it's overkill, but I like extra power for doing stupid stuff! I plan to add a balsa spar too. Again, because I do stupid stuff!
BTW, you do not need to tape the fuselage together. If you lay the plans down diagonally, they will fit. I used 3 sheets of Adams foam board in total.
