[@JohnHill-jm7tm]

Great flying a nice looking plane GB 👍. In my large fleet I have a 182. I installed a sound system. Sounds great. Say HI to Darci and Jodie for me. 🙏🧔💝💝💝

[@GBLynden]

That is awesome John! I am excited to fly this one more and the girls say “Hi”! 👊🏻💥👊🏻

[@ShadowOppsRC]

I wonder if it is the fms v2 rebranded? Sure looks like it.

[@GBLynden]

I am not sure as I had nothing like it FMS before the new FMS Cessna 1500mm. This one is a dream to fly. The assembly was less than fun though….

[@mikebird8290]

HI SHADOW HOPE LIFE IS TREATING YOU KINDLY SIR. HAVE A GREAT WEEK 🇺🇲🙏🏼❤️

[@gooniac33]

So is this the same as the FMS bird??

[@GBLynden]

I am not sure since I did not own that one, but there are several similarities. Thank you for watching my friend 👊🏻💥👊🏻

[@JohnVHRC]

Its not the same as the one we have recently reviewed.

Nice video and nice flight. I liked the vid and just became a subscriber. One quick question and everyone's tastes and preferences are different but why so much expo? Seems to me like anything over 30% is a lot, but I am still new and I have this model in my sights to go along with the original 1400mm FMS SkyTrainer 182 in blue that I haven't unboxed yet (now discontinued) but I am a big Cessna guy and wanted both versions. I find it interesting that FMS doesn't offer their new 1500mm Cessna with their Reflex system, but Arrows offers their 1400mm version with their Vector system. Both are considered "trainers" to some extent. Maybe not the ideal 1st plane but certainly a good 2nd or 3rd option. So do you always fly with so much expo?

[@GBLynden]

Great question about the Expo. Most of the videos shown on this channel flying only the maiden flights and/or the flights immediately right after the maiden. As such, I make sure that things aren’t so darn touchy that I crash. I generally go back and knock the expo down after that, depending on how touchy things feel. The only exception is the Rudder. I like lots of expo in most instances to give me the throws I need on the ground. I hope that clears that up 👊🏻💥👊🏻
