A realistic & affordable BEAUTY! - FMS 1500mm Cessna 182

I got this plane last minute so instead of a full review, I decided to do some initial impressions on a real maiden. This plane flew great! And I am excited to put the BRAND NEW FMS Cessna 182 1500mm RC Airplane to work and see how it does with some FPV modifications!

You are so right, that is a BEAUTIFUL scale plane and you fly it just as beautiful.

[@sgd5k292]

As much as I like this C-182, I would REALLY love it if FMS came out with a C-177 Cardinal or even the RG version. FMS has outstanding models. Nice demo of this magnificent model!

[@JDDupuy]

Don't forget to mention the 5 dollar plastic gear servos on a 300 dollar plane!

[@eminstinct4114]

those 5 dolar servos should be fine if you check them before each flight to make sure they spin smoothly

[@marcellowithtwols]

@@eminstinct4114 They usually get stuck AFTER you've been flying for a while. Then you learn about it after you're done crashing. Been there, done that.

[@Cammed.escalade]

But you also do gotta think that when ppl buy rc planes a lot of ppl put them in a room to show them off , only few ppl actually drive them , but I get what u mean they could’ve been a little better

[@mickydee6550]

That’s a beautiful scale airplane with pretty decent performance. It looks like it will do plenty of aerobatics if you manage your power and fly it on the wing. All in all, a pretty solid offering at $300.00. I would consider this to be a direct competitor to the E-Flite Cherokee.

[@brettcurrier]

Sweet model! Can’t wait to see the FPV!

[@Jays_rcgarage]

Very soon!

[@Shatheedjameson.]

Very happy, I bought my first edf

[@gisall8205]

Can't wait to see your upcoming video with the FPV set up.

[@alexandermiller5034]

Still rocking the vintage flyzone select scale cessna, and i haven't seen any model as scale as it but this looks like a very nice future upgrade.. i must have a cessna in my hangar!!!

[@pewtubee]

She just wants to fly! Beautiful!

[@SnoMoJoe1]

This new 182 looks great. I have the older Sky Trainer from FMS and I love it. My plane is getting a little worn out. This will make a great replacement.

[@ccv3237]

Beautiful!!!! Awesome job!

[@nathanwildthorn6919]

Love that 182! Wow, so easy to operate! Yeah, the gear wheels do sound pretty hideous. Great video and awesome flying, man! 😊

[@glennwirth7334]

Lowered my stress level watching 🤠🥳🤙🏼

[@iamtherealzim]

Awesome looking plane!

[@AL-RCjunkie]

FMS flap servos usually need to be over driven to about 125 in spektrum servo setup, to bring them up level. Those rock hard tires are always loud. The 3 blade prop is going to give you that low and slow flight performance most folks are going to want to do with this plane. It's definitely on my short list. 👍

[@Brakballe]

Would have switched the wheels to foamies ASAP

[@tlfunk51]

Nice plane, thanks for sharing

[@mickeyg.c.1654]

Can't wait to see the fpv mod

[@budlawrence4847]

I enjoy the high wing planes for sure the Cessna is really cool

[@isaiahdiaz9768]

Love scale planes !🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻

[@TonyWentworth-xt7te]

I have the exact same model, first made by Dynam called the Skytrainer 182, who sold all spares to FMS. Great flier!

[@ianevans2854]

What a gorgeous looking model I'd love one of these 😎 🔥 😍

[@markculp6126]

I owned and flew a C182K for many years. Easy systems, and never had any major issues. Could have been faster, but no matter how fast you go, you always want to go faster. You won't regret owning a Skylane.

[@user-qf2qb6eg7t]

NEED to Square the FLIGHT Pattern into the final landing Config RIGHT or Left Down wind leg then reduce speed to come into final set flaps IF needed Never on Strong winds !! FLOATS TOO MUCH when applying flaps ALL Cessna scale or Real need some Down elevetator trim to keep app speed tends to NOSE UP !! You're increasing the ROOT of the wing Airfoil curvature .

[@tonyrollman3991]

That thing is a beauty even better in Red

[@USNVA11]

That would be an excellent second purchase for a beginner.

[@fpvdogfight]

Gorgeous plane! Looking forward to your scale head-tracking FPV flights on this beauty!

[@glennwirth7334]

Lower my stress watching 😎🤙🏼🥳

[@Nutzer5246]

Nice plane and you pilot skills are fabulous.

[@user-qg7dz4yp7x]

Hi Jay you are definitely a super pilot and this is one of the most beautiful Cessnas I’ve seen in a long time I absolutely love your channel my friend Sincerely abundant love and blessings from Canada sincerely Richard ❤

[@anthonyf.9170]

Very nice looking plane. 👍

[@only_visiting]

Nice flying man.

[@RetrocarStyle]

This is great! They should make a Piper Cherokee Arrow!

[@jayaustin3096]

Those wheels make my teeth hurt. Your right. Great looker if you have a runway. Love your channel. Thanks.

[@MIKEH.777]

Im loving how it looks and how it flys. Please when you make it FPV put rubber wheels on it, that would be a major change. It's going to be really cool when you have it FPV and you'll be able to see the guys arm moving. Keep up the great work and God Bless you and your family ✌️ 😊👍🙏🏼

[@timneil9418]

Great video Jay, karate Tim 🥋🙏🇬🇧♥️

[@itzjoeylo4501]

I bought the Banana Hobby version of the 182, great 👍 value.

[@did3d523]

cant wait fpv mode !

[@theHedgehogPro]

Had this exact plane under the "dynam" label. It was fairly durable, however, the front gear is weak and the metal is quite plyable. Bent the first flight landing on some rough grass. Ended up replacing with a different nose gear.

[@straightup7up]

pretty plane

[@chuckpippin8415]

The wheels are definitely "nails on the chalkboard"...screaming for a small dab of axle grease. Had several of these 'screech-wheeled' planes, so far all quieted down after lubing.

[@user-uu1wc6yz5z]

That's reallly cool. For anyone starting out..... or someone that has been watching these sorts of vids , you certsinly showed how user friendly it can be for a furst timer . Wonder if there is a "" how to "" vid for learning how to use it properly , from the manufacturer ? ?

[@robertpawlusiak]

Beautiful !! But those Wheels sound like there gonna fall off 4 yrs ago I put a FPV Camera on the Pro Boat Tug from Horizon Hobby when over 400m Distance it helps to line up the Tug to Boat.

[@henryefird1806]

I’d like to see some grass runways as lots of clubs only have grass. Nice bird. Good flying bro.

[@DronemanJoeRc]

Im not sure if I want the blue or red? I have the HH Cirrus red and and its a great flyer but id dont know red or blue and I also have the HH rv7 blue..idk??? red looks better in the sky but blue is my fave color???

[@rva1945]

I bought the 1300mm Dynam C182 and out of the box I noted the nose gear was a failure. It collapsed in the 3rd landing, and it was a smooth one. I re-built it as a reinforced version and so far so good.

[@TonyWentworth-xt7te]

I can attest to that fact. Front gear is crap. I changed mine with a 3D printed, spring loaded shock nose gear. So much better than OEM. The Dynam Skytrainer 182 used the exact same gear. FMS purchased the materials from Dynam. Also, performance greatly increased with 4S packs. Just be careful not to overheat the motor and use a 40 amp sc, which I think came stock with the FMS. Dynam used a 30 amp, which the 4S was overheating. Great flier!

[@Mossman04]

Dope. Everything’s better with FPV. Damnit, I came from drones, just went to cars and crawlers, now to planes thanks to you 😅

[@Jays_rcgarage]

Ahahaaa welcome to the plane world! I love cars. FPV’ing those too! All videos will be coming soon.

[@tboystoys5682]

I ordered one. I had to order it from China and it’s on its way I can’t wait

[@3DPrintHangar_RC]

The fact that a plane THAT SCALE and that BEAUTIFUL can hover is just BANANAS🤯 Not apples… not oranges 😂😂

[@theinvisiblepiano5369]

Awesome model! Just wondering if the lights came from factory like that, cos the nav lights and strobes are plugged in the wrong way around?

[@3ifmCinematography]

Such a beautiful rendetion on the 182...Why do they so often get the lights wrong?

[@Grootman]

Them wheel hey!

[@bndahi8251]

5:29. she lands just like my students!!!

[@michaelcarslay959]

Do spektrum remotes work with FMS RTF planes? Or do you have to switch out receiver?

[@Atmadimadimadi]

Hi Jay, compare to timber and ranger, which one has the most aerobatic capable ?

[@tomasdanko9785]

Pls can you do a video about a volantex asw 28? Its a 2,6m glider

[@theborg269x]

Everyone wants one but it's a hanger queen I feel like ide want to fly a more fun plane but if it had floats than that adds to the fun

[@michaellui74]

Watching this video again 👍👍great flying . Can a beginner fly this plane?? Thx

[@diamondbeach9322]

Jay where did you get this from and when will it be avaliable to buy? Plz reply jay kujan

[@mortenjohannsen9493]

I just bougth the 1 edition of it, 11 years old, With the fms x-6 transmitter. First lunch rigth in the ground 😪 so now i'll be waiting 2 days to do a second launch. Got a pitts to but With my amatur fligthskills i dont dare to send it up before i have learnt to fly the cesna 182 1400mm😂

[@shawnmts7109]

I've built two RC planes straight up straight down both times. Next time I fly it will be me in it. At least four toy cars crashed. So given I never crashed a car but once. I'll be flying this summer.

[@karlharrelson1091]

Yup, those wheels/tires. They might be square. Then the other thing is the engine sound. Not quite a good match to the real thing. But otherwise, really nice.

[@PaulV-cn6jo]

Hey jay awesome plane, I’ve barely gotten into Rc planes. First one I got was the Fs sensei trainer but came in for a nose dive landing on some pretty high grass. Since then haven’t gotten another because they’re a little pricey. But I’ve been messing with the 3 channel airbuses and made some pretty cool configurations. Please like if interested and I will release detailed videos on what I did with them for you to show all the fans/aviation freaks.

[@PatBALEX]

You can change the wheels out for rubber ones.. Or you can spray Silicone lube on the wheels.. Works for a short time..

[@dynevor6327]

No kidding soft tyres. Most people would rather pay a couple of dollars up front if they don't have a kit of spares on hand. Or you can do what I do as do many others, fly off grass.

[@OldTimerGamer-pr3ow]

I'm looking for a high wing RC plane to get back into flying again. To knock off the rust after an 8 year hiatus. This looks like the one I need.

[@Jays_rcgarage]

🔥🔥🔥

[@avkits]

Is it a ready to fly kit out of the box? If so it is a great deal for $300

[@107nthGalaxy]

nice

[@MsDenver2]

If it’s supposed to be to scale then they should’ve put rubber wheels on?

[@metaljacket2000]

I want one

[@danielreiss1156]

Is it a foam jobbie?

[@Ryanconstine]

I’m trying to start rg plane what should I get not over 200$

[@darealestgig2513]

Do you fix/repair RC trucks????

[@timn4481]

ive got this model. have had it for 5 years. it does everything a scale and an aerobatic plane can. i installed a stabilisation system and it flies like a dream- rock solid. scale planes with a stab system are a must IMO. pop it into high rates and give it some throttle and itll do inverted snap rolls, tight inverted loops, knife edges- you name it. and thats on 3S. i havent even tried it on 4s. im surprised he said it wont go vert here, mine goes hard vertical on 3S... you can fly it for 15 minutes if you fly it scale like and barely past half throttle- even less. the flaps are really just a gimmick. you dont need them for takeoff or landing.

[@L2theWcarscoffeelife]

you dont have this model it just came out this is rated for 4s thats why he used a 4s pack

[@L2theWcarscoffeelife]

There is a line in the wing next to the clip that says cg lol

[@brookekathryn1980]

With how cheap it is.... I'm tempted to add to the hangar....

[@DamplyDoo]

Wow you got some early commenters on your videos

[@jbml3642]

Very nice, how big are the wheels for start and landing in grass?

[@jimw1615]

The mains are 2-3/8" diameter and nose is 2".

[@user-be3lg8os9j]

Molto ma molto bello

[@samuelsherwood298]

Can this plane fly off 3s as well ?? Would be perfect for my wife if it does

[@CV_CA]

What is the total flying weight?

[@PoochAndBoo]

That is a beautiful model. But, man, FMS has gotten a lot of mileage out of that pilot. I think he may be in every FMS plane that I've owned.

[@Jays_rcgarage]

AHAHAAA! Time to update the Pilot!

[@PoochAndBoo]

@@Jays_rcgarage Yeah, think it's time. I had their old Skytrainer, which of course was a 182. What was that, 10 years ago? Same pilot.

[@SoloCrimeWave]

😅

[@ChefDuane]

I bet the power to weight is a lot different on that than the real thing!

[@alwaysflying6540]

That's beautiful

[@franciscosilva1672]

[@brykalaero]

Just grease the axles and wheels.

[@kennonvaughan9838]

Cool Cessna, I like to have one 😒

[@David-yy7lb]

Can that plane be binded to a DX6 remote control

[@Jays_rcgarage]

You would need a Spektrum receiver. AR620 for basic. Or if you want safe and as3X you need a AR630

[@simonmayston1059]

Did the plane come with the batteries??

[@jimw1615]

No battery, transmitter or receiver included.

[@fuglmannsson6229]

Top gun park flite made a 182 way before FMS

[@cnnw3929]

Since I'm too poor to own the real thing, I'm too poor to own this. I'll stick to my DJI camera drones. Thank you very much.

[@HenryKoenig-mt5bv]

I love the scale detail, but I’m also a big touch-and-go person, so those wheels make it a no-go for me 😢

[@jimw1615]

Lubrication will quiet the wheels.

[@Krooker85]

This must be a new version of the FMS 182. My FMS Cessna 182 is very different to this

[@jimw1615]

You most likely have the FMS "1400mm" model. This is a 1500mm plane.

[@marcellowithtwols]

Unfortunately discount code doesn't work. Even if launching page from link directly above it. Wondering if the code is enough to justify the purchase, when they know full well you'll still need to swap that risky telemetry-free receiver. Who builds a plane without battery telemetry in 2024????

[@FishingworldDKOfficial]

is it a beginner plane🤔

[@Jencarlopavon]

I am a huge fan but just wondering have you ever flown a real aircraft because you said you've been wanting one of these planes?

[@Jays_rcgarage]

Yes, I passsd ground school during covid. Don’t want to take flight lessons until I buy a plane and can take them in my own aircraft. Probably do it sooner than later.

[@Jencarlopavon]

really I didn't know@@Jays_rcgarage

[@jnick1909]

lol if only a 182 could do aerobatics like that 😂😂😂.

[@kd8opi]

They can…once.

Great video 👍👍new subscriber. Can beginnerfky this plane?? Can you recommend a plane that a beginner can fly that has some speed and look realistic?? plus come with control like a package deal

[@Jays_rcgarage]

FMS has some great beginner planes. The ranger 1220mm and Piper PA-18 RTF both come with everything you need and have gyros for beginners. I recommend both of them. The Ranger in my opinion is a little more beginner friendly!
