Default CMPro cessna 182 Skylane ARF

I just ordered my new CMPro 65" skylane from nitroplanes.com. I'm going to be usinin standard futaba s3004 servos, Evolution .52NX engine, Ar6200 reciever. I have a few questions for the masses on reciever packs to use and what else may be needed to get this thing in the air. This is my first glow powered plane so im a newb. I also wana know if these servos are compatible with the AR6200. Ill post pics as the build goes. Any recomendations on mods or setup would be much appriciated. Thanks!!

Default RE: CMPro Skylane ARF 50 - 65"

Okay i recieved my cessna today......WOW this thing is really a good looking semi scale model. The package came double boxed and everything inside was raped im foam then plastic to keep painted fiberglass from being scratched. Ive decided to ditch the evolution 52 and go with the o.s. 55ax. Im going to add some steps to the main gear struts and static wicks to try and make it a lil more scale. Also going to do scale cockpit/cabin. I've posted some pics and ill post some more as the build goes foward. Thanks for reading.

Nice! This is the next bird on my list as I did the majority of my flight training in the Cessna.
