best to research online to see what scale goodies to add, VOR, DME & Sat antennas etc. I had mine all done by JP. rudder peddals etc.

Still trying to sort G1000 screens for the dash.
As far as brakes go I have elektron but you will need to get machining done to wheel hub and an adaptor made. I still don't have mine back.
Can't help with servo lengths at this stage.

Not sure my diameter, might be larger than what you state. I'm getting elektron brakes fitted.
I've got unilights on my pawnee.
The Cessna came with AR system fitted, have not tried them as yet.

Default tmmy 35% cessna 182

Well got my plane today from tmmy. as it took almost a year but wow is it nice, great job to the people.. well when you order the plane and you pay over $1700.00 to get it deliver to your door step is wrong . i live in crystal river florida and i had to drive to tampa florida to customs to pick it up and the they charge you $500.00 and then you have to pay another $115.00 to the dock people at the the airport. becouse when it come out of customs it goes to the dock.. wow. all said and done its a nice looking plane but the shipping suck......The shipping is almost the cost of the plane.

The shipping and customs fees are not TMMY fault or concern. Order a massive model from O/S then expect those shipping and customs fees to also be huge. Move on and put it together. Put some photos up of it.

Only thing on the one I have is lack of panel lines and full rivet details. It has some rivets. As I did not commission mine I can live with that as I'm not stripping it back to redo it.

mine has a lot of rivets on it also a new front nose pant the cover for the front nose gear is made in the wheel pant, they also reinforced the main gear box, nose wheel bearing not bushing and the wheels are nice and spin free ,no side to side movement on the wheels ,lots of carben around all the wood parts. vey nice job.. im happy the dash is also new looks great...

put some photos up when you can and show all those details. I am stil lconsidering doing a Garmin G1000 panel. Whether it has actual screens or just prints of them I am undecided as yet.
The dash I have is the old analog dash for the earlier 182Q but the scheme itself is of a 182T with the G1000 dash. I'll need to make a whole new panel.

Similar scheme to mine. The panel looks quite good, is that just a print of the G1000 or does it have the knobs etc on the surrounds too?



My pilots are getting impatient !
