Fun Fly with my World Models Cessna Skylane 182.

Hi Guys....here's a flight with my WM Cessna Skylane. It's a fun plane to fly....made from Balsa and Ultracote. It's my own covering scheme, so it doesn't look like that from the World Models Site.
It's powered by a E-flite 480, great planes silver series ESC 25A and lipo 11.1V 20C 1050 mah Zippy.
Control by Spektrum DX7 with a AR6100 Rx and Hitec 55 servos. I've been flying it now for 4 years exactly. Watch for the Hammerhead stall and death spin to the ground...niceee pull out in the nick of time and fly by waving my wings...hehe

Enjoy.....

It's awesome. I didn't know that highwing plane can do like that. I thought it's only in simulator

Hi pinguin.... this plane flies really nice and is one of the most aerobatic planes in it's class. The wing is fully symmetrical with no dihedral. It does not help you to fly....you have to fly it. Inverted flying is just like flying upright...... cuban eights are true and the loops are perfect. It does not knife edge really well as the body is not made for every 3D maneouver...but all in all, it's a really nice flyer and very very fast.

cheers.

can heli pilots fly planes if they never flown one before?

Yes, they can, but flying plane at first will be hard. But in no time you will control it Better buy EPP plane as your first

Of course you can fly planes. They are two different flying models, but the logic is still the same. The main difference is that if you go to zero throttle whilst flying, the plane will glide... but the heli will descend (not drop). Has to do a lot with how the pitch curve is setup. Similar aerobatics and scale flying but the heli is more manoeuverable.
Planes run-off to fly and follows a glide path to land. Heli's hover to take off and hover to land.

Now burton....... now that you have the flying bug.... next step....Planes?

Cheers.

yea i wanna get a plane down the road just to try it out...like u said soon as i get my heli moving foward and doing figure 8's its just like a plane control wise.......

Yes and no. I'll tell you what, get a 400 size electric plane, balsa or styrofoam, you have a good supply of 11.1V batteries already........just try it out. Just hold one click of UP elevator, punch the throttle with the plane into the wind....after a good roll....give UP elevator and up she goes.
Easy as 1, 2, 3......

Let me know how you do. I can recommend a few good models to start out with.

Cheers.

Yikes Ty a hot rod Cessna I had one a cuople years back flew the heck out of it, then one day I
done a big loop and at the bottom of the loop it went into a graveyard spirl and could not recover
and well you can guess the out come of that. Nice job flying ty.

Thanks sdjb....... I fly pattern and 3D. So you have done the figure 9 manoeuver eh!
I have done it once with a Carl Goldberg Sukhoi SU27 1.50 size....it was a spectacular crash. Parts, dust and debris flying every where. When I walked over, the pilot was the only thing that I could salvage......I threw him into a bon fire...he couldn't fly for $hit and I would not allow him to fly another of my planes. Well....I never crashed after that...(knock wood)

Cheers.
