Cessna 182 E-Conversion

Little history of full size Cessna 182

The Cessna 182 was introduced in 1956 as a tricycle gear variant of the 180. In 1957, the 182A variant was introduced along with the name Skylane. Later models have added more powerful engines and bigger windows.

Cessna cites the 1990s resumption in producing general aviation aircraft such as this model due to change in U.S. liability laws.

The Cessna 182, marketed under the name Skylane, is a four-seat, single-engine, light airplane. It has the option of adding two child seats, installed in the baggage area.

Electric conversion on plane of this size is nothing new nowadays. Many who I know have sucessfully converted their nitro / gas planes into electric. The key of sucess for such conversion is to choose a suitable power combination, that is it. Hopefully my attached pictures will give those who are keen to switch into E-power some ideas on E-conversion.
