Thought it would be a fun twin project to mess around with this summer. Haven't been on the board for a while so not sure how new it is. Searched the posts but didn't find anything about it. Thanks in advance..

Just got the white and orange one the other day, was not expecting much for the price but I'm now a believer.

This is a very well built ARF, all laser cut parts and the covering is excellent including the trim detail.

I'm thinking of doing a volter with it, eliminating the fuel tanks will make for plenty of room for the li-po batteries and a pair of Axi 28-20 's will yank er through the air.

Think I'll change the ugly nose wheel strut to maybe a olio or a trailing arm wire.

Here's the code: CJFREESHIPPING. Free shipping over 50 dollars. I have always liked this plane and I've decided to do it as an electric. I assume that I'll need two motors, two esc's and two batteries to do it right. We'll see.

Status: offline 		Got my 337 today from Raidentech. Absolutely happy with the transaction from them. I ordered it on Friday and it arrived to FL from CA on Thursday. I use the free shipping offer posted above so the plane to my door cost $129. A lot of people have had issues with Raidentech, but this was fast and flawless. The boys in brown even treated the package nicely. Aircraft looked great. Both cowls are fiberglass and the paint was about perfect. Windscreen and side windows are orange-ish/brown and the painted frame on it looks good as well. Covering looks fine and it looks like a good quality build. Again, overall pretty happy with it. The hardware looks complete, I'm sure I'll have to disregard some when it comes time to build. I have been eyeballing a 337 for some time with the hopes of dressing it up to look like an Air Force O-2. I still may recover it, but it looks so good in the current scheme, I may just stick with what I've got. I probably won't get around to working on it for some time, but those interested in getting into one, from what I've seen so far, I'd recommend it. Good luck.

Status: offline 		Here are a few mock-up pics to get an idea of what it looks like... The covering job is really pretty nice as well as the paint job on the cowl. I think; however, that I may end up doing it in an O-2 scheme. I bought a roll of dove grey monokote the other day and it's staring at me from across the room. The O-2 scheme is grey, white and black, but I think I can get away with just the grey and black. We'll see. Good luck !!

Status: offline 		I have been flying the Nitro Cessna 337 for a year now, with 87 flights to date. I painted it grey with Air Force markings, added rocket pods and call it an O-2A. See pictures. I power it with two Tower Hobbies .46's swinging 10-6 APC props. It is an EXCELLENT flyer----flys like a trainer--very easy to land. It is hit every time I fly it---the twin rngine sound is terrific. Will fly very well on one engine. An EXCELLENT value for the price. Try one----you'll like it

Status: offline 		Your O-2 looks great... Did you just paint right over the original covering? It's really nice. I broke down and stripped mine down a bit ago. I'll be doing the white, grey and black after all. The wings are fully covered in white under all of the trim. This will be the basic scheme that I'm going with (without the words on it). Would you mind snapping a few pics of the inside and also, how do you transport to the field? With center section on and wings off? Again, great job on yours !!

Status: offline 		I have confirmation that mine should arrive on Saturday....

I still deciding if I should go with OS 0.25 FX or with 0.25 LAs

Think the FX should be better performance more power. Any body has any experience with this engines.

Status: offline 		Hi I'm new here.

Jersue, your O-2 looks great. I was hoping to find a thread talking about the Cessna 337 as I'm in the process now of recovering the one I scratch built about 19 years ago. It has a 87 inch span and is powered by two O.S. four strokes. It was originally covered with red, white and blue Monokote, that's all gone and I've got all the glassing finished with the E Z Lam and a light weight cloth. I'm now into the fill and sand part of the project using Evercoat Easy Sand, it's coming along nicely. Soon I'll be shooting some light weight Evercoat lacquer primer on it. I've yet to make up my mind as to the finished paint scheme. The Navy did have a blue with yellow trim version that really looked nice. It flies and sounds great, I'm hoping to get mine re-done for the club "warbird "event coming up in July. I really like the paint scheme you used, it looks just like the" Oscar Duece." Any suggestions, ideas or information as far as paint schemes will be appreciated.

Thanks and happy flying,

Jim

Just ordered mine, started from Nitro but switched to Raidentech, Glad I did. Saved the shipping!!! went from $166 down to $129 even!!!!! Great. Going to power mine with an OS .25LA on the front and an OS .40LA on the back. Going to swing a 10x5 on the front and a 10x6.5 on the rear. I'd like to make some retracts for this one,...hum

Status: offline 		All I did was wipe down the original monocoat with laquer thinner and sprayed the monocoat with grey Rustoleum "primer". Looks good from a few feet away. I transport it in three pieces, the main fuselage with the booms attached, and the two outer wing panels seperated. I rarely take the wing off, but can acess the reciever through the windshield which is held on by four screws. I flew the real O-2 in Vietnam in 1971/1972. Sorry---no pictures of the inside---windows painted black to cover up the ugly orange stock windows. I have ordered the Cessna 337 (89" from KMP and will be dressing it out like the O-2A. It will have two SPE 26 gas engines if they will fit.
