The Cessna 182 is a large scale model and the attention to detail is amazing. All the decals are already in place and it really does look the part. Striking colours, and its large size - it has a 1600mm wingspan, yes that's 1.6 meters! This massive scale make the Cessna 182 a stunning model aeroplane that anyone would be proud to own, not only that but much more stable than smaller models and easier to control, even in windy conditions.
What does ARF mean? ARF stands for almost ready to fly, a ARF model has the motor, ESC and servos installed, the package includes battery and charger, but is missing the receiver and transmitter.
Included is an electronic speed controller, electric brushless motor and servos - all pre-installed. A 6ch transmitter which is required to complete the model gives full 3D control of the aileron, elevator, rudder, throttle, steerable pilot and door opening. The brushless motors gives enormous power allowing full aerobatic characteristics and inside loops, outside loops, axial rolls, inverted flight and spins are all possible.
The attention to detail from Starmax who are the leading RC planes manufacturers gives the plane a nice realistic appearance. The plane can take off from the ground or can be hand launched. The Cessna is made from shock resistant EPS foam with reinforced fuselage and strong wings. Should you need any spare parts though they are all available from our site. This RC plane is a lot of fun and you will certainly enjoy flying this fantastic model.
You simply cannot get a better model Cessna of this scale and quality at this low price!
The Cessna 182 Skylane is an American four-seat, single-engine, light airplane, built by Cessna of Wichita, Kansas. It has the option of adding two child seats, installed in the baggage area. The Cessna 182 was introduced in 1956 as a tricycle gear variant of the 180. In 1957, the 182A variant was introduced along with the name Skylane.
Later models have added more powerful engines and bigger windows. Cessna cites the 1990s resumption in producing general aviation aircraft such as this model due to change in U.S. liability laws. In 2005, Cessna began offering the Garmin G1000 glass cockpit as an optional upgrade to the Skylane. Subsequently the glass cockpit became standard equipment.
