Default Flying a plane in the movies

Hi All,

I was asked to fly a plane in a movie by a movie producer.[8D] He would like it to be a Cessna type plane small electric. My question to you all is: what do you all recommend. I don't have much time so it has to be a ARF. I would like something that can take some wind and is pretty strong. Besides that I'm open for suggestions.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Ive heard good things about the world models cessna skylane? i think it runs of a brushed geared 400 and nimh cells, but im sure ull want a brushless lipo setup for more power and wind handling abilities.
regards,
dave

Well I flew the new bird tonight. Flys great. It's the Super Cub from Hobby Zone. It's big enough that it will handle some wind. The place they want me to fly it is big enough but the landing area is on top of a roof and not that big. On the good side the director wants it to look like a crash landing.....I said "no problem". This is going to be FUN. I get to play with the Cub till Monday. Now I know why I practiced all those touch and goes for hours and hours. I knew someday I was going to be flying for the movies and crash landing on a roof. It only took 30 years.[8D]
