Thanks for all the replies guys. Like I stated before I'm purchasing a pulse, and will probably buy a cessna or the cherokee very soon afterwards. I also found this 182 by China model products.

The reviews seem to be pretty good. Anyone flown this model?

Suave
Yup.

For what you get for the price, that is one of the biggest ARF bargains around. It puts the more expensive models to shame.
A really beautiful plane.

There are several threads here on both the 140 and the smaller 50 sized version...

You can see pictures of both of the planes in those threads.

Note however that plane is not a lightly built arf, but an all fiberglass plane.

That makes it more loaded than what most advanced-intermediate pilots are used to.

I've flown the 140 with a 180 engine which was just about right.

It is by no means something that a beginner nor even an starting intermediate pilot should put their hands on.

A more advanced intermediate pilot can handle it though.
