Cessna 185 Assembly starts


Well I started work on the fuselage. At the risk of the questioning of what am I doing, I am going to put a .35 engine in it (yes!!). So I am beefing up the firewall and unfortunately have to cut the cowl.

Just a warning. Don't use the supplied pushrods (unless you support the routing through the fuselage. They are not up to the job. I am replacing mine with Dubro pushrods. Also use epoxy to support critical joints such as where the wings are bolted to the fuselage (see photo).
