I just bought a new Cessna FMT from the name of the ARF version.
At first glance it looks very nice, also made ​​quite solid given that the EPO.
It also has flaps and landing lights.
I am now waiting to be beautiful weather for us because now it is raining, then the first time that you take off, and then to report how an airplane work out.
If anyone else is up here, it is recommended for any information[8D]

After gasoline planes themselves, I hope that this very fine electro baby toy for release

Maiden flight today successful[8D]
Very nice flight, but can be fast enough or moderately slow..
I only had it in the true center of gravity, namely, it seemed to me that a little tail heavy.
power is huge, very nice landing, the biggest pleasure is, this can take off and land on the grass because we do not have in our asphalt runway.
Pictures are only on the floor with my big Citabria(105.5 in.) because I was alone on the track

Hope you like it

I have the original 4 channel version. I had to change out the stock plastic nose wheel steering arm with one from Dubro, put a few bends in the nose wheel steering push rod, replace the stock plastic gear nose wheel / rudder servo. I have 100 plus flights on it. Wheels are starting to wear out from all of the touch and goes. I enjoy flying at about 1/2 throttle doing fly by's. She does look good in the air. I always take it with me to the field. Just a nice flying plane.
