It's mostly the same, since it builds a lot on Tony's work. The differences will come at higher alpha, where I've added some extra data from Roskam. For example, the side force due to roll rate will approximately double at 5 degrees alpha in the C182 model, while it will remain constant in the C172 model; likewise for the roll moment due to yaw rate, and even more so for yaw moment due to roll rate and yaw moment due to aileron. Other changes are more subtle, but the model should feel a fair bit different when you try to manoeuver during a steep climb; otherwise, except for the bigger engine, it's pretty-much identical to Tony's C172.
