MM Cessna 180
I must give a shout out to Doug at Mountain Models on the Cessna 180. What a great little plane. I flew mine for the first time Saturday and it is a blast to fly. It is very cool to do low and slow fly-bys. The scale look of the plane is very nice. The plane is very responsive and easy to control. With the correct washout (ask me how I know) it self corrects and flies almost hands off. You can do a dive and it will level itself out in just a few seconds. I ended up logging 24 flights on my plane over the weekend Along with a dozen or more on my Dandy (another super MM plane). That is 24 full packs. I am using 5-7 cell 270 mah nicad packs (around 10 minutes per flight)and some 830 qualcoms (30 plus minute per flight). I am using 1300 mah lithiums on my Dandy and my longest flight so far on it is 42 minutes
Again it is a great flying plane and if you are looking for a small IPS sized plane to fly in a small area like a baseball field or even smaller the Cessna is a great choice.

RE: MM <span class=
I am having mine built now. Does the rudder alone bank it pretty well ? I was worried about that and did not build it with ailerons. I want a realistic banked turn. Love slow fliers.

RE: MM <span class=
Ok finnaly got some pics downloaded of my C-180. The plane is a blast to fly and yes it is a fun and easy kit to build. Take your time and add all kinds of scale detail to it as you go.
