Default RE: Wattage Cessna 180 RTF Trainer

Thanks Greg. Wattage has been so kind that they did replace me receiver. so it's flying again.

Now, after I get some feel and experience with this plane, and I also continue to research online for other planes (GWS mostly), I find that most of the GWS plane can take off from ground easily usually because the battery has higher voltage or motor is more powerful (300 or above, usually 380). Also the Prop size can alter the performance of the plane as well.

Now my question is, how would I bring this wattage Cessna 180 to the next level? I enjoy watching the plane taking off and landing so having this ability is a plus.

Hi Greg, or anyone in this forum, have you guys tried to modified the Wattage Cessna 180? will using 8.4V battery work and give more power? or should the motor be replaced from 180 to something like 380....? or should I change the prop size ?

Again, I am still a learner so please forgive me if anything i mention above does not make sense.

Thanks a lot!!!
