Nice!!

Actually yes, if he showed up with a .60 sized glow Yak, we would ALL tell him he needs to go find an instructor to fly that type of plane or shelve it and buy a high wing trainer of some sort. Some people, like jester's idiot example, do need to get instruction; I find it hard to believe that anyone could crash a HZ Champ, but I guess it does happen. I have never crashed my Champ or my Super Cub and did crash my PZ T-28 Trojan after a successful maiden flight. That was my fault since I let the plane get way too far away and I lost orientation. But, damage was minimal and I flew her again today, this AM in fact and this time I used the D/R on my Spektrum DX6i and set the aileron, and rudder to 60% and the elevator to 75%. Wow, what a difference. I actually flew her for about 8-9 minutes and then brought her in for a nice 3 point landing. I now have8 planes and have only crashed the Trojan. Of these, 3 are mico planes. I attribute my success to my RealFlight 6 simulator. I have a Flyzone Cessna 182 Skylane Select Scale that I am going to maiden tomorrow. I have set the D/R on this one also so she should fly more docile than my T-28. I have been practicing on the Cessna 182 on my sim for a week or so, so I am confident I will be able to maiden her successfully.

GP sells an ARF of this airplane for $250 USD. It has enough wing area to make an excellent trainer and you will be pleased by the way it flies.

What about a Piper J3 Cub? I really like the look, any suggestions on where to buy one and what brand? Electric, EPO

This airplane makes sense and yes I have taught two folks how to fly with it and now a third who bought his from my first student with this airplane.

Thanks John, so is Tower Hobbies the best choice for Online ordering. I hear bad and good things about others like Banna Hobby, and Hobby King so it's very confusing.

RE: Scale Cessna 182 for Newb
 

Yep. Banana Hobby does what Monics Lewensky did to Bill Clinton!! There ya go CG! http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f...ular_smile.gif

Tower hobbies is likely the largest retailer in the US and a reputable company that happens to have about the best customer service of all. They are not the cheapest but hey you have a problem they are there. Quite unlike the less reputable overseas retailers you mention who have no effective customer service.

I have bought many, many large items from Tower Hobbies and have not had to return anything.  They are a great online retailer. Not as cheap a some others, but very good. I have used their EZ Pay program and it is a nice way to buy if you want to stretch your money a little bit.

hello John,
I am planning on buying the Hangar 9 Cessna 182. I was wondering if you knew the Height of that plane.
