RE: Wattage Cessna 180 RTF Trainer

I tested the Cessna 180 on two seperate days...both windy.

To my surprise, the plane had plenty of power and it very rugged. The snow, ice, and ground didn't seem to affect it when landing. Flight times were about 5 minutes. The Cessna should be a great trainer for beginners on a calm day as it seemed to handle 5-10mph winds without a problem.

Here are some flying photos:
