I just finished and flew my new GP 182 today. I bought this plane to be a relaxing fun scale model that would be a change of pace from my war birds. I was shocked at how fast, maneuverable, and full blown hard to land this plane is. I did put an O.S. 70 surpass with a 13x6 APC prop on it. I also left the wing struts off. But I am still very suprised at how hard it is to slow down, and how bad it wants to tip stall when you do get it slowed down. There was a strong cross wind at our Field and I managed to fly it 4 times with out dinging it up, but the landings were far from relaxing. I think I am going to put a big flat master airscrew prop on it, and put those wing struts on for some extra drag. I guess I should not be surprised, it is pretty heavy, and does not have a whole lot of wing area, or cord, but it is a much higher performance aircraft than I was expecting. The plane flies great in the air, and is a real looker.
