R.C. TW Cessna

[jakedcps]

Does the 3 channel Cessna come with a rudder and elevator or do i need a 4 channel Cessna for both of those?

Thanks

[RCTestPilots]

@jakedcps It will definitely have an elevator, a 3 channel plane will either not have a rudder or not have ailerons.

[yamaha4759]

isn't this cessna 747 a 4 channel plane...? i know the 745 cessna is a three channel..

[RCTestPilots]

@yamaha4759 It's 4 ch.

[KvornanTheLafesta]

Do you recommended this? I'm thinking of buying 1 soon

[RCTestPilots]

@KvornanTheLafesta This plane is probably not a good beginner plane, In my opinion you should get a plane with lithium polymer batteries, and a brushless motor.

[KvornanTheLafesta]

@RCTestPilots Not sure if I can find one locally... The stuff they have @ my local hobby stores, only very very few come with brush-less & lipo, and they don't look like beginners stuff either... I really have a narrow choice of models to purchase, unless if I get an ARF and buy my own electronics.

[RCTestPilots]

@KvornanTheLafesta Ordering one online would be a good idea, making a plane as a beginner is a hard thing to do. Two websites I would recommend buying planes from are nitro-planes, and hobby-lobby. These both have good beginner planes, you should take a look.

[KvornanTheLafesta]

@RCTestPilots Hmm, interesting idea. But I might still make a go on this Cessna anyways... I don't really want to blow my wallet, a lot of the stuff on those 2 websites are really really expensive. I may have to go local.

[RCTestPilots]

@KvornanTheLafesta The HawkSky From nitroplanes would be much better.

[kelvinzz1]

was teh second plane a piper j3?

[RCTestPilots]

@kelvinzz1 No, which plane?

[kelvinzz1]

@RCTestPilots nvm

[Didgeman80]

Nice! I have the exact plane. I got mine off ebay as an empty plane. It comes with a 370 motor and a gearbox. All you need to do is add a RX, ESC and servos and off you go. I've added a 1530kv BL motor with an 18a esc. Waiting for the wind to stop for the maiden flight :)

[RCTestPilots]

Cool, this plane now has a brushless motor, and lipoly battery. We haven't had much luck with it though.

[RCTestPilots]

I'm not sure, it's my friends plane.

[geekpeptalk]

i understand that it is brushed but overall it is a good plane u say. how fast does it go, can it climb vertical on stock motor?

[RCTestPilots]

It is good. It can't climb vertical, it's meant to be a trainer. The speed is alright, not to slow, not too fast.

[geekpeptalk]

hey is this a good plane. i mean really is it a good 4ch plane

[RCTestPilots]

It's good, yes. But since it is not brushless or doesn't have a lipoly, it would not be my first recommendation. Something like it that would be better would be the FMS sky trainer cessna from nitro planes.

[dmorgantube]

Are the tires plastic or rubber?

Thanks.

[RCTestPilots]

They are a certain type of rubbery foam.

[BellowingBeaver]

awesome video you two, great flying. Looks like you two are better at flying than me, lol.

[BellowingBeaver]

hey man! awesome. I was hoping to find another guy with this plane. I just got on given to me from a good friend. I built it and ready to fly. I was wondering if there was any advice you could toss my way? Do's and Don't's or anything at all?

I got a question, how long of flight do you get with the battery? Did yours come with 4 props too? All different sizes and all? What's the deal with that? Any tips I would love to hear them.

[RCTestPilots]

The different prop sizes might have been for the gear reduction. I'm not exactly sure, this is my friends plane.

[angler1204]

i will have vids of it soon my lipo just blew up so i have to get a new battery for it..

[RCTestPilots]

I hate it when that happens. =[

[angler1204]

no but thats ok because i have a brushless 370 size motor and lipo batteries..

[RCTestPilots]

Cool.

[angler1204]

oh because that is weird.........i have the same exact plane............and it was WAY underpowered..so i have a brushless in it now....so much better.

[RCTestPilots]

That is weird. Did you do the gear reduction? and your prop might have been on backwards. Just a thought.

[angler1204]

how did u do the gear reduction??

[RCTestPilots]

I didn't do it, it's my friends plane. I'm not exactly sure what you have to do, it comes with everything you need though. Try contacting: RCJackBlack

[angler1204]

is that the stock motor?

angler1204

[RCTestPilots]

Yeah everything is stock.

[DesertDiegel]

is that jacks

[RCTestPilots]

Yeah look in the description.

[RCplaneDude]

nice flight
