HorizonRC.com's review of the ParkZone Micro Cessna

Radio control airplanes have seen a number of significant changes during the last few years. For the most part it seems airplanes have been getting bigger, even huge. And "big" usually means expensive. But ParkZone has an introduction that goes the other way. The Cessna Centurion is about as small as an RC airplane can get. But it flies way better than any micro model you have seen. In fact, you have to fly it to believe it. Jim Booker provides his take on this wonderful plane.

can total beginners who have no flying experience at all fly this? It looks simple. I learnt basic flying skills from a book

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@averredude101 These were more of a 2nd plane, however a beginner would have been able to fly these without much trouble. These have been discontinued however, but the HobbyZone Champ have a similar style to these and, if anything, are a bit easier to fly.

are ths good beginersor might want to use other planes

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@fatymicfaty Actually these have been discontinued. They were decent for leaning to fly. The ParkZone J-3 Cub would be similar to these.

Without seeing it I don't know.

I use the same battery for my mcx and that works fine. I have had the replace the motor once or twice, but since the motor occasionally spins, I know its plugged in. I don know what to do! plz help!

[HorizonRCdotCom]

Sounds like the battery doesn't have enough voltage. Check the AA's in your charger. Also if you left the battery plugged into the ESC while storing it then it probably is ruined and needs to be replaced.

I have a citabria and theres a problem.

I had put it down for a while (month or so) then went to pick it back up. when i plugged the battery in, the servos worked, but the motor only sputtered then killed. i turned the plane off and on again and the same thing happened. can someone help? thanks

I started flying when I was your age. I saved up for 3 years for my first RC airplane and that's when I joined the club. Flew gas planes for 4 years and then switched to electric. They're pretty cheap... for the price of three new video games you can get a ParkZone Citabria or Cessna! Buy it off eBay and it can be delivered right to your door.
