Damon,

I stayed with the supplied hinges, they seem to work fine....I was thinking the same thing you were and thought...."Don't need to make those holes any bigger than they already are"...

Dan charged me:

$49.00 + shipping

Tracon -> RE: New CMP Cessna 182 .52 size (9/28/2007 4:12:49 PM)

Simracer,

What size prop are you using ???

Have you done your maiden flight yet ???

Sam



Simracer29 -> RE: New CMP Cessna 182 .52 size (9/29/2007 2:17:17 AM)

Sam that is a 12x7 prop. She has not flown yet, still a little concerned about C.G point.



JeanLucPicard -> RE: New CMP Cessna 182 .52 size (9/30/2007 3:06:46 AM)

simply looks too good to let go off the ground......................

first few flights must be nerve wracking!

I love this babe more and more every time i look at it - i hope i am not dissapointed when i finally get to order and see it for myself

does it actually look this real?!?



Simracer29 -> RE: New CMP Cessna 182 .52 size (9/30/2007 3:51:39 PM)

This is my 3rd CmPro Cessna and with out a doubt the best one yet.They all have been very good flying airplanes, the only issue was slowing them down for landings, which is why I love the flaps on this new one.(Great Job CMP)



JeanLucPicard -> RE: New CMP Cessna 182 .52 size (9/30/2007 4:32:39 PM)

Can they be flown slow scale in a stable way

can they be flown really slow on part flap?



damon -> RE: New CMP Cessna 182 .52 size (10/2/2007 8:54:46 PM)

Tracon,

I've never installed a lighting system before. How do you attach the bulbs themselves to the various openings in the plane? Forgive me if that's a dumb question.

thanks,

damon



damon -> RE: New CMP Cessna 182 .52 size (1/8/2008 5:44:16 PM)

Hello,

thanks

Anyone know if a Magun RFS52 will be enough pwer for this aircraft. I just ordered the plane a few days ago and would like to put that magnum 4 stroke in it.

Ouch!

The CMP Cessna is not a light plane, and you would be effectively putting in a rather low power engine.

It's akin to putting in a 2C .32, while the plane calls for a 2C .46 or larger.




Tracon -> RE: New CMP Cessna 182 .52 size (1/9/2008 4:04:47 PM)

Mine is electric....came in quite heavy 9 lbs 9 oz !

She flies awesome though !



seagull extra -> RE: New CMP Cessna 182 .52 size (2/10/2008 1:05:46 AM)

I just recieved my Cessna yesterday from Jet Hobbies and it arrived with no damage. I had high expectations for this model as I have seen the photos of this plane and I also own the 50cc extra 330 from CMP and it is also a very nice looking plane. I can say without a doubt that this is the most scale and best looking arf I own and I have some good ones ie. GP Patty Wagstaff and Christen eagle.
I have purchased an OS FS70 surpass(will be mounting inverted) for it and I will be getting a 3-blade 2.25" truturn spinner for it. After reading this thread I think I will also pick up the robart nose wheel strut for it as well. I like some of the lights some of you guys have installed but unless I can find a nice light kit I don't think I will take the time to fab up my own set. I weighed everything in the box and it was about 6.5lbs so the plane willcome in quite heavy at about 9lbs but I guess thats the price you pay for such an accurate scale plane. I am really looking forward to building and flying this plane this season.

Hi Guys,
Your planes look really nice. I bought the .52 size Skylane from NitroPlanes last month on clearance for $79. It seems to be a different version. The controll surfaces do not have the ridge details. The wing center section seems wider. The wing tips are covered balsa. The fuse looks the same except that there is no black paint in the windshield area. All in all it looks pretty nice for the price. Anyone else have this version? I have a Magnum 80 4c I was thinking of using. I am thinking the added weight might be good but is it too much power?
Thanks Huck

Tracon

geefish1 -> RE: New CMP Cessna 182 .52 size (6/27/2008 7:29:06 PM)

Hi,
What size prop are you turning. im worried about ground clearance. Im planning on using an E Flite Power 46 with 4s 5000.

Tracon -> RE: New CMP Cessna 182 .52 size (6/28/2008 3:58:47 AM)

14X10

Sam



geefish1 -> RE: New CMP Cessna 182 .52 size (6/28/2008 5:52:28 AM)

Thanks, So a 13x8 should clear the ground with no problem right?



Tracon -> RE: New CMP Cessna 182 .52 size (6/28/2008 7:12:22 AM)

Yep...use a APC, that's what I'm using...

There's a few new pictures of my plane here: http://teamtracon.netfirms.com/eventgallery/nfpicturepro/thumbnails.php?album=18

I'd love to hear how the Power 46 on 4S works out for you. If I can use my 4S packs it'll save me a ton of money. My plane will be here Monday. I also ordered the Robart nose gear from Tower. It should be here next week as well. I can't wait!

Joe



geefish1 -> RE: New CMP Cessna 182 .52 size (6/29/2008 2:16:52 PM)

I am scheduled for delivery on Thursday 7/3/08 for my plane and then about a week or so for the build. I dont expect a speedy flyer with the power 46 and 4s, but it should fly scale. All my batteries are 4s.



turbojoe -> RE: New CMP Cessna 182 .52 size (6/29/2008 2:53:44 PM)

I'm really starting to agonize over choosing the right power package now. It would have been so much simpler if the advertised weight had been more accurate. [>:] That true flying weight of 9+ pounds took me from a case of having everything I needed to having pretty much nothing to power it with.

The more I think about it 4S is not the way to go for me. It'll be inefficient and have a super high amp draw. Because the plane needs a lot of weight in the nose anyway I'm wondering if A123 cells might be a good option. I've never tried them because until now I haven't had a plane that needed the extra weight. This may be good time to consider trying these cells. I'm going to look into it a bit closer.

Joe



Tracon -> RE: New CMP Cessna 182 .52 size (6/30/2008 5:10:05 AM)

I'm a strong believer in MORE is BETTER...

6s 5000 for me on a AXi 4130/16

I can still fly scale, throttled back...but if you need power in an emergency...I got it !!!

Sam




damon -> RE: New CMP Cessna 182 .52 size (6/30/2008 3:10:53 PM)

Tracon,

What size gap did you maintain from you spinner backplate to front of cowl? I can't tell exactly from your pics.

Let me know.

damon
