Seagull Cessna Turbo Skylane 182

Introduced back in 1956 the ubiquitous Cessna 182 Skylane is – in light utility aircraft circles, at least – almost legendary. Used by flight schools, civil operators, cadet organisations and independent owners it’s the second-most popular Cessna model after the 172 and remains, in the eyes of those who fly it, a solid and reliable Jack of all trades because it does so many things so reasonably well.

In R/C model circles, utility aircraft are often dismissed as being a little dull but for those who’ve seen the light, nothing could be further from the truth, indeed Seagull’s new 182 is a prime example. First and foremost, if you want a superb circuit and bump machine – this is it. If you want a model that’s a great canvas for adding extra scale detail – this is it. If you want something that’ll teach you basic aerobatics – this is it. If you want a model that you can totally relax with – this is it. If you want an aeroplane that turns heads – this is it. If you want the convenience of a semi-scale Sunday sportster that’s easy to store, transport and assemble at the patch – this is it. If you want another trophy aeroplane that’s too precious to fly and sits collecting dust in your spotless show hangar – this is not it! In essence, what you see before you is a true value for money R/C model that you’ll fly the pants off and enjoy for all the right reasons.
