I know it might be too early but I look forward to seeing what electronics you put in. I am not there yet and a Cessna could be a good trainer for the real RC world. Thx for posting!

[@flyingfortressrc1794]

Thank you and Thanks for watching. Not really sure yet what I'm going to do yet for electronics but hopefully I'll get it figured out soon.

[@flyingfortressrc1794]

Thanks I'm looking forward to it too.

Just finished this kit after four months of work, coincidence you just posted this! Going to maiden tomorrow morning

[@flyingfortressrc1794]

That's awesome. Good luck on your maiden and let me know how it goes..

@@flyingfortressrc1794 Well I got back a couple hours ago I took off once noticed it was way too tail heavy and landed as safely as possible but ended up break the front wheel and loosening the back wheel so I had to hand launch and it was a lot worse and ended up cracking both wings off. Just need to glue them back on and cover a part of the canopy again. Seemed like I had plenty of power but extremely tail heavy for some reason even when I am pretty sure it was balanced at the correct points both times. Oh well! I’ll probably be able to try it next Saturday morning! If I get it flying I will be sure to tell you my exact cg that works

[@leroya9929]

@@saito125I just glued the wings back on last weekend and then did some covering patches yesterday. I had to wait so long because I didn’t have epoxy. I also reinforced the wings with a little wood behind, we’ll see how that works. I did sort of a shotty job on the wings in terms of dihedral equal on both sides but I have ailerons so I can trim better if necessary. I’m shooting for Sunday morning, and I’ll update then, how is your build going?

@@leroya9929 I'm still to start mine, haven't decided on RC gear yet. Cheers!

I’ve attempted their Cherokee 140 but miserably failed.

[@flyingfortressrc1794]

Oh man that's a bummer. Keep trying, you'll get it.
