Hey,
I'm thinking of getting the Great Planes Cessna 182 as my second glow (6 overall) plane? What do you all think about it?
How long does it fly?

It files until gravity wins out
. If it's the plane I'm thinking of, it can be a complicated build, and it's a bit on the heavy side. Think: faster landings, etc.....

Nik,
A scale model like the C-182 is a building project which is able to fly. If you want a good flying plane to practice on everyday, I would recommend something else. There are lots of choices.
Generally speaking, those beautiful scale models of civilian and military planes are too heavy to fly well. Of course the scale aerobatic planes are very differant.

Thanks for the reply's,
I heard that the Cessna is not very easy to fly but it's not that hard, i mean i flew a 30% Edge 540 (Thanks Chris) and it should be no problem for me. But all i want is a nice looking plane! (.46 size)
