Guillow's Cessna Flight Video
Hello to all!
Check out this video. www.zippyvideos.com/207093824455615.html
I built this Guillow's kit with original wood and according to plans. I modified it enough to fly with draganfly micro servos (one in each wing for ailerons) and elevator. The motor was a stock GWS EPS-300C with the "A" gear ratio, which is 2.8:1, I think. If anyone is interested, I can give you more details, as well as photos of the building and modification process.
Point it into the wind.

RE: Guillow's Cessna Flight Video
Cool! I thought I was the only one crazy enough to fly the gullows 172... Mine flew ok with a sp400 with 3:1 gearing, 8cell NICD pack, hitec micro(hs-55s I think) servos, 4 channel, Feather receiver. Mine was rather heavily modified(pun intended) . It was too heavy and slow to really be much fun - more due to the setup than the plane I think. Never did take any pictures... wish I had.

RE: Guillow's Cessna Flight Video
gabimaor- I sent you an email..........
IWC- What do you mean?
cwrr5- If guillow's kits are built right, they should fly well. I did not have a problem with the stock kit wood at all! I am starting a scratch built warbird in a few days to utilize the same componets from the Cessna. The size and weight should be comparable, 36" wingspan 13.5 oz weight.
Anybody enjoy the video prodution?
