Important Information About Motor
Selection
We are recommending the E-flite™ Park 370 Brushless
Motor with 4100Kv (EFLM1000) or the Park 400 Outrunner
Brushless Motor, 920Kv.
The Park 370 Brushless Motor, 4100Kv provides more than
awsome power with a 1200–1320mAh 3-cell Li-Po battery
or park flyer power with a 2-cell Li-Po battery. Just use the
included 5.33:1 gearbox and 10x7 propeller.
It is extremely important to monitor gearbox wear and motor
temperature when using the 4100Kv motor. Lack of proper
throttle management using this motor and a 3-cell Li-Po
battery may result in damage to the motor, gearbox, ESC,
and battery. Adequate motor cooling is very important, so
make sure the motor is cooled properly in the cowl.
For a direct-drive Outrunner alternative, use the Park 400
Outrunner, 920Kv, which will also provide plenty of power
without worrying about gearboxes.

Using the Manual
Before Starting Assembly
This manual is divided into sections to help make assembly
easier to understand, and to provide breaks between each
major section.
Remember to take your time and follow the directions.
Warning
An RC aircraft is not a toy! If misused, it can cause serious
bodily harm and damage to property. Fly only in open
areas, preferably at AMA (Academy of Model Aeronautics)
approved flying sites, following all instructions included with
your radio.
Keep loose items that can get entangled in the propeller
away from the prop, included loose clothing, or other objects
such as pencils and screwdrivers. Especially keep your hands
away from the propeller.
Before beginning the assembly of your Cessna 182, remove
each part from its bag for inspection. Closely inspect the
fuselage, wing panels, rudder and stabilizer for damage. If
you find any damaged or missing parts, contact the place of
purchase.
Note on Lithium Polymer Batteries
Lithium Polymer batteries are significantly
more volatile than alkaline or Ni-Cd/NiMH batteries used in RC applications. All
manufacturer’s instructions and warnings
must be followed closely. Mishandling of Li-Po
batteries can result in fire. Always follow the
manufacturer's instructions when disposing of
Lithium Polymer batteries.

Important Information about Your Brushless ESC
Make sure your ESC brake is programmed to Off. Also,
be sure to use an ESC with the proper 9V cutoff when
using 3-Cell Li-Po packs, or 6V cutoff when using 2-cell
Li-Po packs.
Note: This section covers the installation of an
Inrunner motor and gearbox. Skip to Page 12
for Outrunner Motor Installation.
1. It may be necessary to attach motor adapters or
other accessories to your particular motor at this
time.
Note: Use the instructions provided with the
motor to install any accessories. Follow the
instructions provided with the gearbox for some
helpful hints for installing the motor. When
installing your motor into the E-flite™ gearbox,
it is very important that the gear mesh is set
correctly and is smooth with no binding. The
E-flite gearbox features adjustable slotted
mounting holes to ensure your gear mesh is
correct. Remember if the gear mesh is too loose
or too tight, it may strip the gears. To extend
the life of your gearbox, we also recommend
using a small amount of grease, such as lithium
grease, on the spur gear.
It is also very important to check to be sure the
propeller is balanced before installing onto the
shaft. An unbalanced propeller may strip the
gears. When installing the propeller, please be
sure not to over-tighten the 3mm locknut. The
use of the locknut will prevent the propeller from
coming loose.
Use the 12-tooth pinion we include with this
airplane on the motor.

Control Throws
1. Turn on the transmitter and receiver of your
Cessna 182. Check the movement of the rudder
using the transmitter. When the stick is moved
right, the rudder should also move right. Reverse
the direction of the servo at the transmitter if
necessary.
2. Check the movement of the elevator with the
radio system. Moving the elevator stick down will
make the airplane elevator move up.
3. Use a ruler to adjust the throw of the elevator,
ailerons and rudder. Adjust the position of
the pushrod at the control horn to achieve the
following measurements when moving the sticks to
their endpoints.
Ailerons:
1/4" (6mm) Up/Down
Elevator:
5/8" (16mm) Up/Down

1. Before each flying session, be sure to range
check your radio. This is accomplished by
turning on your transmitter with the antenna
collapsed. Turn on the receiver in your airplane.
With your airplane on the ground and the
engine running, you should be able to walk 30
paces (approximately 100 feet) away from your
airplane and still have complete control of all
functions. If not, don’t attempt to fly! Have your
radio equipment checked out by the manufacturer.
2. Double-check that all controls (aileron, elevator,
rudder and throttle) move in the correct direction.
3. Be sure that your transmitter batteries are fully
charged, per the instructions included with your
radio.
28
Page 29
Preflight
Check Your Radio
Before going to the field, be sure that your batteries
are fully charged, per the instructions included with your
radio. Charge both the transmitter and receiver pack for
your airplane. Use the recommended charger supplied
with your particular radio system, following the instructions
provided with the radio. In most cases the radio should be
charged the night before going out flying.
Before each flying session, be sure to range
check your radio. See your radio manual for the
recommended range and instructions for your radio
system. Each radio manufacturer specifies different
procedures for their radio systems. Next, start the motor.
With the model securely anchored, check the range
again. The range test should not be significantly affected.
If it is, don’t attempt to fly! Have your radio equipment
checked out by the manufacturer.
Note: Keep loose items that can get entangled
in the propeller away from the prop. These
include loose clothing, or other objects such as
pencils and screwdrivers. Especially keep your
hands away from the propeller.
Double-check that all controls (aileron, elevator, rudder
and throttle) move in the correct direction.
Check the radio installation and make sure all the
control surfaces are moving correctly (i.e. the correct
direction and with the recommended throws). Test run the
motor and make sure it transitions smoothly from off to
full throttle and back. Also ensure the engine is installed
according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and it will
operate consistently.
Check all the control horns, servo horns, and clevises
to make sure they are secure and in good condition.
Replace any items that would be considered questionable.
Failure of any of these components in flight would mean
the loss of your aircraft.

National Model Aircraft Safety Code
GENERAL
1) I will not fly my model aircraft in sanctioned events,
air shows or model flying demonstrations until it
has been proven to be airworthy by having been
previously, successfully flight tested.
2) I will not fly my model higher than approximately
400 feet within 3 miles of an airport without notifying
the airport operator. I will give right-of-way and avoid
flying in the proximity of full-scale aircraft. Where
necessary, an observer shall be utilized to supervise
flying to avoid having models fly in the proximity of
full-scale aircraft.
3) Where established, I will abide by the safety rules
for the flying site I use, and I will not willfully or
deliberately fly my models in a careless, reckless and/
or dangerous manner.
4) The maximum takeoff weight of a model is 55
pounds, except models flown under Experimental
Aircraft rules.
5) I will not fly my model unless it is identified with
my name and address or AMA number on or in the
model. (This does not apply to models while being
flown indoors.)
6) I will not operate models with metal-bladed
propellers or with gaseous boosts, in which gases
other than air enter their internal combustion
engine(s); nor will I operate models with extremely
hazardous fuels such as those containing
tetranitromethane or hydrazine.
RADIO CONTROL
1) I will have completed a successful radio equipment
ground range check before the first flight of a new or
repaired model.
2) I will not fly my model aircraft in the presence
of spectators until I become a qualified flier, unless
assisted by an experienced helper.
30
Page 31
3) At all flying sites a straight or curved line(s) must
be established in front of which all flying takes place
with the other side for spectators. Only personnel
involved with flying the aircraft are allowed at or in
front of the flight line. Intentional flying behind the
flight line is prohibited.
4) I will operate my model using only radio control
frequencies currently allowed by the Federal
Communications Commission. (Only properly licensed
Amateurs are authorized to operate equipment on
Amateur Band frequencies.)
5) Flying sites separated by three miles or more
are considered safe from site-to-site interference,
even when both sites use the same frequencies. Any
circumstances under three miles separation require a
frequency management arrangement, which may be
either an allocation of specific frequencies for each site
or testing to determine that freedom from interference
exists. Allocation plans or interference test reports
shall be signed by the parties involved and provided
to AMA Headquarters. Documents of agreement and
reports may exist between (1) two or more AMA
Chartered Clubs, (2) AMA clubs and individual AMA
members not associated with AMA Clubs, or (3) two or
more individual AMA members.
6) For Combat, distance between combat engagement
line and spectator line will be 500 feet per cubic inch
