Here is the maiden flight of (and subsequent damage to) Ron's Hobby King Cessna 182 foamie RC model airplane.

Note the cheerful banter and encouraging words that can be heard on any Sunday at the South Waikato Model Aero club as the members gladly assist in helping a follow modeler to fix is damaged model.

Yeah - right!

  • Sorry for Bruce's reference to the Christchurch earthquake but this was filmed a few days before the recent disaster. Our thoughts are with those affected by this tragedy. Its a pity those lives and buildings cant be repaired as easy as our mishaps.

  • @48horijoe Yeah, you never know what's around the corner eh?

  • hey, im looking at buying this cessna and i was wondering what you thought of the plane, or what the owner thought of it??

    and is it all stock??

    ive heard some bad things about its electronics failing after a couple of flights.

    -Thanks

  • @ChrisRainRC The owner was very happy with it -- but so far he's only flown it once.

  • Haha Noobking at work again. LONG LIVE HOBBYZONE!

  • how far will it fly? can you get the range of the hand held controller signal to over a mile??

  • lol there goes the wheel bloody hell!

  • hi.. my HK Durafly Cessna 182 Skylane burnt it's ESC upon maiden taxi.. had to buy and wait for a new ESC... Servos are of very low quality and are prone to shortage.. however, the fuselage and decals look nice and tough though.. had a crash and only broke half a prop and engine cowl.. landing strut is soft and wheels tend to deform when parked for a long time..

  • looks good, whats the wingspan?

  • "wait for the wings to fall off"...
