  • Do you think it would be possible to install a light FPV rig into this plane?(live feed via antenna)

  • @Scar527Outdoors It depends on how heavy the equipment is but if it's pretty light it should be fine.

  • Awesome video. How big of a field do you need to fly In? How about a high school football field?

  • @1511116 I would say the field that we fly in is about 1000ft x 1000ft. You might run out of room pretty quick if you fly it at a football field.

  • I'm saving for this right now! What an awesome plane - functional LED lights & beacon, flaps that work. Wow!!! I can't wait - at $150 this is a real value man!!! I've been a 4 & 6-ch RC Heli pilot for 2-yrs. now, having just graduated to CCPM 6-ch flight, but seeing this Cessna really takes me back as I learned to fly in '74 in a 172 Cessna and then started renting 150's... Love it!

  • @crazylegs973 this plane is great for beginners like me hahah but im pretty sure you can turn them on in flight. Ill have to double check that for you.

  • Hey im wondering of getting this plane or the skybus can you please help me decide? Thanks that will help me alot

  • Is this good for beginners? And also can you turn on the lights while it's in flight?

  • @TheVinnyisawsome I ordered it from these guys (Nitro Planes)

  • i want one were do we order it from???

  • @tomgillotti were did you order it from??

  • This video was the reason I ordered this RTF. I watched a ton of videos and looked at a million different planes, but I kept coming back to this one. Can't wait to get it in.

  • Just ordered a red ARF, $118.19 delivered. Looking forward to doing tricks with this sleeper. Last 3 planes have been from NP, no problems at all, thanks for providing nice aircraft at affordable prices guys!

  • @DarkJet101 A 11.1v 2650mah battery should fit the battery compartment.

  • @nitroplanes would a 2650mah lipo fit

  • @jayandjake Get good on a 3 channel like the mini super cub (what I did) then move on to this when you feel confident. Can't comment on the flaps.

  • fuk flying my plane near a rifle range, i want my plane to stay in the air, and not to be a shooting duck pmsllllllllllllllllll

  • It's very much like my cessna182.They fly very stable but i feel you need to fly off hard strips it will go off grass but struggles.nice plane.

  • i just got this yesterday in red, took out taxied around and after getting the rudder trimmed out i took off and the thing pitched way up and stalled which i recovered from then did a stall and a wing dip and into the ground! i repaired today but im worried about the next flight!

    how much deflection should i have on aileron and elevator? aileron seems too slight as does rudder! also on checking the CG should the plane balance about 1 inch begind leading edge?

  • questions. 1. Are the flaps better or worse for a beginner? 2. Because i have a mac i cant buy a flight simulator thats reasonably priced. Is it necessary to use a flight sim if i use a beginner plane like this? I have flown a little before. 3. How much space does this need to fly? I live near a golf course, so will that work?

  • @Dabears2323 I don't think the plane will support the weight of the GoPro, we do sell a dice cam that really light, check it out the item number is 86P-988-Dice-MiniCam

  • Would this plane be able to support the weight of a GoPro camera?

  • The battery hatch can trick you- you can put it on real tight, and it will still fly off unexpectedly. I suggest securing it with tape as a precaution

  • @Weezing818 if you're really anal about saving space, the wires can be folded, tied up, and stuffed in the back towards the stabilizer servos. the receiver can then be stuffed into one of the little compartments on either side
