Go to Ebay and search for "Cessna 182 electric"

There are several there. Also, this model is available through www.parkflyers.com as the Parkflyers Cessna 182.
It's the same plane.

My horizontal stab looked like yours after my last flight nothing a bit of epoxy and a short length of carbon flat couldnt fix! What motor are you using?

MrSpliff

Its all just been changed to a brushless outrunner power setup not shure on the motor ill find out later friend doing it.

Dub

Putting a brushless motor in these is the best thing you can do. They are a bit underpowered to be a good trainer I reckon. I put a brushless in after only a couple of flights and it helped me improve my skills a lot. Plus you have some great laughs with what it will do

MrSpliff

Tell me about it. Mine was way underpowered there silly trainer plaines fighting to keep them up in hi winds

can you choose a 3ch or a 4ch version or do i have to convert one to 4ch. (its a friends)

MrSpliff

Mine came 4 chan. not shure if you can get a 3chN

nimaldes

yeah u can get both. I would really consider chngin radio gear though. the stock one isnt great

monsterbombs

i dont know when they came out but i got a cessna 182

brushless lipo, 5 ch. anyone else got one? st model.

i got a new parkflyers cessna 182 pro deluxe which came with a 2.4ghz radio for glitch free flying. it's only a four channel though. i gues its the same as art-tech but this is from parkflyers.com

where did you find a 5 channel and whats on the fifth channel?

The parkflyers cessna is not the same as the art-tech cessna....parkflyers has got a 480 neo-dynium brushed motor that actually has more power and flight time than the brushless versions...the rcvr on these is a five channel, but the radio is only a four channel...if u want to u cud upgrade to a futaba or hitec six chnl radio and then add flaps or hook up the ailerons on seperate chnls instead of using a y connector.....read my review on the rcu user review forum parkflyers cessna 182 pro DJ

I just got mine from bananahobby.com. 150 bucks shipped to my door, 2.4ghz, brushless motor, and bluegraphics so it looks good too. Its my first plane and im really happy with it. Flies great, loops, rolls, etc are no problem. It is the art-tech one in the 3d/aerobatics section

Cool...enjoy it man...ive got several different cessnas from the lil parkflyers size up too 1/5 scale and they r all great flyers...good for trainers or sport flying...u made a good choice bro...once u get good with it then u can get into warbirds or 3d etc.....enjoy DJ

CrashTestDummy77

Thanks, i have had 8 successful flights (and landings) and im already doing aerobatics within reason that my cessna allows, My goal is to get a large electric balsa p-38 and p-51 eventually. The simulator time has really paid off before i ever flew this one. Inverted flight is a bit more tricky than i anticipated with this cessna though.

Yup bro...inverted flight with a hi wing is harder ...stay away from the mustang untill uve flown another low wing tail dragger...mustangs r one of the hardest warbirds along with the p-38 to fly....i have built and crashed several of both and ive been flyn rc stuff 40yrs now.....some really good second planes and first low wing r the at6 and u can get one of them rtf for like 80$ ive got one of the tw at6 and with a lil bit of tlc its a great flyer...the t-34 is another good first military plane....im setting up a p-40 with retracts right now for a review soon as i get done with the others im doing and then im gonna be doing a foam electric p-38 for a review...check out some of my reviews on the users review area....if i can help ya, just ask, ill surely try..DJ

CrashTestDummy77

Thanks, i will certainly keep that in mind, my intention was to get a p-51 foamy after i got really good at this cessna just to see if i like how the low wing planes handle and then eventually (a year or two) get this blue p-51d http://aircraft-world.com/shopexd.asp?id=4741 It seems expensive, but i cant find a large electric balsap-51 similar to that I like. they are all much smaller. Does anyone who has the Art-tech cessna 182 version 2 from banana hobby like mine know if i can pit a li-po in it? These chinese instructions are vague at best. It has a 970kv brushless motor and a 20a speed control.

Thats a nice mustang....i know the blitzworks rc from bh has a nice looking and flying mustang.....but its foam...im starting to like foam planes more than balsa..they r lighter and a whole lot tougher man....

U can use a 7.4v 1800-2100mah lipo in that setup...in the attached video is my cessna with a brushed motor and a 7.4v 2100mah lipo and i get like 20 mins of flying like in the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7D5aRGCgHjo

CrashTestDummy77

Yeah i reeeeealy like the paint scheme on that one. But i know im not ready for that one yet...even if i got it, it would DEFINITELY be a shelf queen for a while til i get more flight time in.

Your cessna is crazy lol...i wish mine had that kind of power. All i have laying around here are 11.1 lipos though. I guess i could try a 7.4 and if i see if it lights on fire..lol. The speed control says for ni-mh though...hmm. I can hope to hear from someone on here with my exact plane that could tell me for sure.

make sure you get the 4ch not the 3ch

the 4ch will last you alot longer before you have mastered it

Willit Run 353

not the art tech mustang!! it handels like a trainer. Landing a tail dragger can be a little hard if you dont have an exellent sim to practice but skid land and the only thing to look out for when landing is that airscoop on the underside

if it flys like a trainer then it does not have a true mustang airfoil...so y bother...it wont perform like a real mustang does...not that im putting those planes or u down ....just it such a waste to have something that kinda looks like a mustang but dont fly like one...but thats me im a bit hardcore about scale stuff .....ive flown some of the pts (progressive training system) planes and to be really honest once ur done training they r not much in the performance area even after u have taken off the pts stuff.....ive been a certified instructor for 30 yrs now and i still truly feel that a high wing is the best way to go....but !!! the pts mustang and others do have a eye appeal i can understand the new pilot wanting....the foam rc plane has opened up a whole new area for the beginner pilot fer sure and im glad of it and they r alot cheaper and easier to fly than the ol balsa nitro (slimer)... thats one of the great things about this hobby and this forum and we can all voice r own thoughts DJ
