When in 1956 the run-up to produce a new version of an older Cessna 170 four-varying three-wheeled nose landing gear, surely even the biggest optimists did not know it would be a machine that will last in production until now and become the best-selling single-engine aircraft of all time - they were built more than 43,000 pieces!
In addition to the steady and unobtrusive service both civil and military users around the world Cessna 172 distinguished establishment incredible endurance record. December 4, 1958 took off Cesnna N9172B piloted by Robert and Timmy John Cook from McCarran Airfield near Las Vegas. After 64 days, 22 hours, 19 minutes and 5 seconds, 4th February 1959 landed again. Fuel, oil, food and water were transferred aboard a flight from the truck traveling on a long straight section of desert road at the same speed as the Cessna flying over it. The record attempt was over when the motor continuously running well past the usual time between overhauls, and his performance declined so much that had not managed to climb.
Free Flight Scale Model Kit to four high-wing designated for tourist drive by rubber; instructions and allow the plan to build a model as well as a free-flying powered internal combustion engine 0.8 ccm, confined model with an internal combustion engine or a 0.8-1ccm as a static model with sophisticated maketovými details museum-quality scale of 1:16.
Model is a classic balsa construction in Rozsyp with předseknutými wooden parts, scale accessories from vacuum-molded plastic, plastic injection molding parts drawn by a předseknutými parts of "plastic plywood", a light and strong material to replace traditional plywood. The hull is constructed of course right minimaketářskou technology with baffles and a plurality of longitudinal, allowing faithfully reproduce the rounded shapes. Built in two steps - thanks to "slit" in the vertical plane stand directly on the countertop first half of the fuselage, and then the "dolepíte" half a second. Thus it is ensured that the hull complicated shapes stand straight and symmetrical, without needing any special preparations. Since it is a small model for advanced builders, you should already have prior experience with classical building and test-flying models powered by rubber.
Skyhawk is also suitable for conversion to RC model with electric drive - although this construction plan variantuu offer for experienced modellers would not be a big problem.
Kit includes: předseknuté balsa parts, balsa wood beams, předseknuté parts from plastic plywood, vacuum molded parts Scale (canopy, engine cover, wheel covers ...), plastic propeller shaft and head, rubber harness (5x1mm rubber), steel strings the chassis and other small parts, wheels, lining paper handle a rocker for tethered model, wet decal sheet, building plan.
Tip for building: Předseknuté parts NEVYLAMUJTE! Turn the cutting board, place it on a work surface and lightly sand the fine sandpaper (No. 220 or finer). Parts can then be easily separated; should still have some wood fibers "bound" to a cutting board, carefully separate the part of the pattern, using a sharp knife (suitable as Excel No.1 knife with a blade 11).
Treatment of rubber volume: a new eraser gently wash it in soapy water and allow to dry. Then lubricate it with castor oil (sold in pharmacies) or silicone grease for the lubrication of fishing line (you get the fishing tackle shops). After flying with the volume model, remove and store it in a sealed plastic bag. Lubricated rubber volume depends more smoothly and with less friction - gives more power and last longer. The new volume is also advisable to first fetch - for the first 2-3 years only to turn the 80-100 revolutions before it can safely shoot more.
