Nice aircraft, I have the same like you, but with a little more modifications. Slower and "time programmable" flaps, and a 10ccm ASP methanol engine. So, whenever the snow in austria is gone and the sun comes out, this will be the moment to my first flight. I hope it looks like as your flight :-)
Mine was took me almost a month because it's not continuously and also some parts are not ready. But you can finish it in less than 2-days if everything is there. Aside from upgrading is continuous or fitting new hardware like navigation lights, backup battery/BEC, electronic glow driver, etc.
I ahve a CMPRO cessna 182 and think its a lovely looking model. do you find yours slightly heavy and hard to land. because mine is heavy it doesnt slow down on landing, therefor Do you have the same problem, and how much flaps do you use?
I do have the same problem on landing, even take-off from the grass requires me longer runway and 25% (approx. 10-mm) of flaps depending on the wind speed. I used 50% of flaps on landing depending on wind with slight elevator control. On windy, no flaps at all.
Thank you for your help, what engine have you got installed in your cessna?, ive got an Irvine 61 2 stroke, and i have to say it runs amazingly with it. Do you think just to slow the plane down perhaps use full flaps for a second or two, and then ease off slightly?
You got a powerful engine size for your Cessna. I got a Magnum XLS-46 2-stroke engine for my Cessna and I wanna upgrade it to OS 55AX for better climb. You can use full flaps mix with elevator to slow down the plane, especially if there's no wind, just remember when you retract your flaps from speed brake the plane might lose lift.
Lol love the comment at take off you should be a captain and how much was the onboard cam???

it's not a good beginner plane, if you got one, don't fly it, start with trainer first and build your flying hours.

Hi,
Is it possible to adapt an electric 800W brushless power system on this plane instead of a gas engine ?
Thanks

Yes, like GPE RimFire 42-50-800 Brushless Outrunner with max of 925W. Approx 100W/lb for this plane.

I am looking into this aircraft myself. What type of camera did you use?
FLABandit 4 years ago
I used my Sony DSC-M2 DigiCam. You can use any camera or FlyCamOne2 as long as it wouldn't cause drag in the air and secure it.
