Control Line
We wrote to the Cessna factory in Wichita, requesting a set of scale drawings and some performance poop, and their generosity helped us draw up a ship that is as true to scale as possible. The only deviation from true scale is the addition of 1/2" to the gear length, to provide adequate prop clearance
Construction of the "310" is not at all difficult, but should be tackled only after the drawings and text are completely understood. The materials used are all commonly
Powered by two, 6-cylinder, Continental engines, rated at 240 h.p. each, the "310" cruises at 190 mph plus on only 60% power with a full gross load of 4,600 pounds. Top speed is in excess of 220 mph! The excellent single-engine performance of this ship endears it to the hearts of the pilots and gives it that nice, comfortable margin of safety so desirable in executive transports.
Thank you for looking
