RE: New CMP Cessna 182 .52 size
Air speed air speed air speed....
This plane must be balanced properly !!!
I'm running an electric setup, my Thunder Power battery weighs 26 oz (1.62500 Lbs) my AXI 4130/16 weighs 14.2 oz (.90 Lbs) !!!
I still had to add 6 oz of lead to the nose to get it to balance properly....
This all adds up to a total weight of 2.8875 pounds of weight on the nose or at the forward end of the aircraft....
If you don't take the time to balance this plane and get the CG right, expect to distroy this beautiful aircraft....
This may look, smell and have the shape of a trainer, but let it be known, this is a scale plane and a very heavy one that must be flown accordingly...
Mine probably weighs in at or over 9 Lbs...I'll try to get an exact weight later...
Good Luck !
