HI my name is Mike, and I have bought 2 of your cessna 182 planes, and have enjoyed every min of flying them, they LOOK GREAT, FLY great and is over all an awsome plane.... out of all the planes I have searched for I find the park flyers cessna 182 4 chann el the best looking scale model plane out there, I'd for sure recommend it. I soon plan to order a new 4 channel 182 in the next month or so...... this plane is for sure a winner! And thanks to parkflyers for stocking such a great plane!

Hello Parkflyers.com…

First, let me start by saying that the Parkflyers.com Cessna 182 is a beautiful model. The construction was very straightforward and my model went together very well. I am an experienced RC pilot (10+ years and several models built and flown), and I found the Cessna 182 an absolute joy to fly. The model flew beautifully and predictably from its very first flight with no surprises, in normal or mild acrobatic flight, which your website and the Backyard Flyer magazine review said it was capable of. The magazine review and your website claims were spot on in that the Cessna 182 is a very stable flyer, so I congratulate you on a superb model.

Anyway, thanks again for a great scale RTF Cessna 182!

It took me 15 minutes to prepare the Cessna 182 for its first
flight. The first flight was very smooth. The airplane was super
stable and very easy to fly. This is a very fun airplane for
beginners. I fly it almost every other day now in the park behind my
house. VERY RECOMMENDED.

I bought your Cessna 182 before winter and wasn't able to take it out until
today.
I have to tell you that I was pretty impressed by this little bugger.

Stock batt, stock everything. It took off from the ground, flew great and
was much more responsive than I anticipated. Performed loops and turns
without hesitation and coasted in for a smooth landing. And,,,it looks
great !
And, it was the first time I've flown anything other than a Hobby Zone 2
channel pusher, that I crashed on the 2nd flight.

I would certainly recommend this plane.

Now, that being said,,,,,a gust of wind came out of ?? and did drive it into
the ground, but that was mother nature. Some great glue, tape, rebuilding
and I think it'll be back in the air tomorrow.

Thank you,
gw

Parkflyer;

I recently purchased a Cessna 182 RTF 4 channel.

What I do like is the ease of flying the plane, the
maneuverability, and the power to do several stunts. I
also like the availability of replacement parts
because it has been in the ground once already.

Hi

I just wanted to weigh in with my opinion of the Cessna 182. I bought 3 of these birds over the summer
(1 ea 4 ch and 2 ea 3 ch) and flew only the 3 channel ones. I loved the way they responded to the
controller, very tight and precise. They actually are a little too touchy. I adjusted the throw of the
control rods to take some of the response out. As I et better I will try the 4 channel one. I can say
they fly very well as slow flyers and as fast birds. It seems you can have it all in one bird.


I am thinking of tricking mine out with a brushless motor and LiPo battery. The airframe is
fantastic and rugged if you reinforce the main wing with clear tape.

Overall the plane is great. I would recommend it to anyone wanting a fun intermediate plane

I loved mine.

Marc:

Whatever I can do for you on the surveys, I will do. You have a great little business there and you've been great to me, so I will certainly do that for you.

I've purchased quite a few planes now and the Cessna is still my favorite plane.

How is the Edge? Is it worth it? Let me know.

Hi I just recently bought a Cessna 182, the shipping is very fast. I just recently bought a plane from Hobbytron.com and it took five days to get here. But for you guys my Cessna got her in two days! The Cessna is a dream come true compared to other planes. I took this puppy to a air show and started to fly after the real jets did and the pilots to the F-18s were amazed on this little planes performance. So next time you are looking for a good company with exotic planes come to Parkflyers.com and be amazed

Thanks for Everything

Dear Marc,

Just a note of thanks from a satisfied customer. Your professionalism and business ethics are excellent. They match the flying characteristics of your models. The fact that you provide live customer service separates you from the rest of the crowd. I hope to be doing much more business with you in the future.

Sincerely,

Dear Sir;

I took my Parkflyer Cessna 182 to the field, set it on the runway opened the throttle slowly to full! The little plane zipped down the runway, sounding like a swarm of angry bees! It jumped into the air and rapidly climbed to a safe aerobatic altitude.

I did a few loops and then began doing Cuban eights! It flew great! I quickly gathered a crowd of local flyers. I was told, "We never saw a small ready built electric fly that well!"

It runs straight down the runway, due to the tricycle gear, with very little tendency to veer off. On landing it stays straight down the runway! My tail draggers always tend to veer off on take off and on landing they like to ground loop or at least run off into the grass, when rudder authority is lost.

I used battery packs from other E/P planes and managed to keep it flying all morning!

I changed the location of the push rods on the control horns for a less sensitive feel, as the plane is quit zippy and sensitive. With the less sensitive feel, it was more stable and still would do rolls and many other maneuvers.

I took the wheel pants off, as they were dragging on the wheels, i epoxied the aileron servo in place, as it was coming loose. I put my own radio in the plane, as I fly mode one, and am more comfortable that way.

I keep a lot of extra battery packs available, so I can keep flying. They are easy to change out, as you do not have to take off the wing off. They insert from the bottom. All so I like the bolt on wing, so do not like rubber bands for this purpose. Never take the plane apart! Jut fly it! It is small and easy to transport. The plane looks realistic in the air and flies very well!

Hello, My name is Dan Masteller and I have just recently bought the cessna 182 R/c Plane with the 3 channel receiver. I think it is a great beginner plane. I had no prior experience flying anything at all and within the first two or three times getting it in the air, I felt confident flying it and getting it back to the ground safely. I want to thank parkflyers for there great and very cool planes, and for there fast delivery. I know that you will find it just as exhilarating as I did.

thanx,

Dan

Hello. My name is Jason Roberts and just wanted to drop you a note on how I appreciated your helpful answers to my questions and how quickly you shipped our my orders. I just recently got interested I flying when I was on vacation in Virginia and saw someone flying his own plane at the campground we were staying at. He was doing loops and tricks and I knew I wanted to try it. So I ordered a plane, went to the local park and began flying ( despite a few mishaps ) which parkflyers.com helped me out with. Thanks for the great products and even better customer service.

Jason

Marc, I’ve flown that puppy a half-dozen times and all I need now is some pictures of it flying. It first flew in winds in excess of 15 MPH! She struggled upwind, and man did it go downwindJ. I must have shot a dozen touch and goes in that wind and it performed flawlessly – even hand launched it a couple of times!!!!!

This weekend we have a two-day all electric fly-in and I will use the plane for some ‘hands-on’ training for kids – so yes, I do like it!

Jerry Festa

I bought the Cessna 182. I live at 6000 feet and it flew great. It took off within 60 feet and had no problem climbing. I usually buy gas powered airplanes but since I bought this plane, I have not used them. Being an electric plane, I can fly it in a small park not far from home and have the same thrill as I would at the remote control airport. The plane is very durable and easily repairable when you have a wreck. I highly recommend this airplane.

I AM VERY PLEASED WITH THE THREE CHANNEL CESSNA 182. I HAVE TWO OF THEM. OUT OF THE BOX AND IN THE AIR IN NO TIME AT ALL .GREAT LOOKING AND TRUE SCALE APPEARANCE. WAITING FOR THE ARRIVAL OF FOUR CHANNEL VERSION. WOULD BE GREAT FOR A BEGINNER THAT WANTS TO TRY OUT R/C. A LOW MAINTENANCE HOBBY.

I WOULD RECOMMEND AN EXTRA BATTERY.

ERV BARRETT ST PETERS MISSOURI

Hello! I recently bought the Cessna 182 3-channel foam flyer. I am somewhat new to flying rc and thought it would be very difficult to catch on to the sport. This plane turned out to be incredibly easy to fly and I have had no problems with it. With the regular battery pack I get about 15 minutes of flight time. I cant wait to switch my battery pack over to the new lipo pack and make the plane fly even longer. Thanks!!!!


Brett

Thank you so very much for sending the Cessna 182 plane as quickly as you did. You
made my son's, and, in turn, my, Christmas - very very special. It was
the only thing on his Christmas list and thanks to your efforts he was
able to receive it on time.

You went beyond the call of duty and I am so thankful for your efforts .


God Bless - Happy New Year
