Cesna 172.
 

Hi People, Looking for some info on the cesna 172, Mainly the c-g point and anything else that can help to set this plane up.
Also is it a "Hand launch " or a "take off " plane, I have tryed the Take off and no matter how much ground speed i get it drops a wing,
The hand launch is ok but requires a bit of a run up if u know what a mean....
Ok, Its a glow .20 engine, with a winspan of approx 4 feet. Made of moulded plastic, The company that made this model was "Robbie" i think, this is from a sticker on the wing,
I dont own this aircraft, a friend does, All im trying to do is find a little bit of info on it, It was purchased second hand and in a bit of a state, but this has all been repaired and is almost ready to crash i mean fly again.

Thanks

Gee.......first thing that pops to my head is the plane is UNDERPOWERED. Try a bigger engine and see if that dont help you. "Its a glow .20 engine, with a winspan of approx 4 feet. Made of moulded plastic"

What is the weight of the plane? I also think you don't have enough power.

ditto on the power. Of coarse I am a big fan of home improvement (grunting) ;)
