J-Power Cessna 182 Skylane RC Airplane PNP - Red/Black - with ESC and Servos

Fantastic Airplane..Very Scale.Flies very very well. Very docile for beginners.also suitable for intermediate and expert pilots just wanting to relax doing moderate aerobatics. Only fault is that they need to have a better and stronger nose wheel assembly. That's the only reason I took away one star (4 Stars I give it).

Lot more then expected. Very nice airplane, of course you have to assemble it ( I prefer) and check everything like you should. Bought two, one for me and one for the grandson. Love it.

Nice plane with really good fit and finish. Some problems with servos and control wires. It's otherwise a really nice trainer for those who wish to get started!

This is a very nice looking airplane, But...If you are expecting to fly this plane right out of the box, you are most likely destined for failure. The plane needs to be checked for loose screws and hardware. With the plane I received, most of the screws were loose, but the most critical were the motor set screws. They were loose and allowing the motor to spin in the mount. Tightening the set screws may be ok, but I suggest removing the set screws, and drilling divots in the motor mount area and re-installing them. The nose landing gear is very wobbly and poorly designed. I modified the hardware and replaced the nose gear with larger diameter wire. The main gear is also very small diameter wire, I also replaced it with larger. The wheels are not intended for take off in grass fields. Hand launch or smooth blacktop/concrete is necessary. With the factory wheels installed, landing this plane needs to be a perfect 3 point or it will nose over, this is true for both grass and blacktop/concrete. (If you purchase this plane make sure you buy a couple of spare props)! The wheel pants look great but I discarded the pants and factory wheels and I replaced them with 2.5 diameter wheels. The plane doesn't look as good, but I am now able to take off and land in the grass without nosing over. This plane also comes with - micro servos? With a 55" wing span and large wing area you would think that it would have larger standard size servos. In flight with the stock servos the plane is pretty stable, but turning is a little slow to respond. I removed the servos, modified and replaced the servos with the standard size. I also increased the size of the control wires and clevises. A couple of other modifications I did were to the main wing mounting and engine cowl. Finding a replacement engine cowl for this plane was very challenging but after searching the internet for some time I finally found one.The modifications that I made to this plane added weight so it is critical to check the center of gravity and adjust it before flight. The motor in this plane is extremely powerful and had no problem in handling the extra weight. In flight, the plane now flies and handles very well. Bottom line, in flight this is a very nice looking plane and after modifications, it handles and fly's very well.I should have returned this plane, but to me, modifying and making RC airplanes better is almost as fun as flying them.

DO NOT BUY THIS!!It is totally incomplete. mine came with no instruction. a broken tail. no radio. no battery.And all for the SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY that you would spend on a complete airplane.Buy from a different seller that sells a complete airplane that is ready to use.
