Top Flite Cessna 180?? Any thoughts??

[Mytmerc83]

I have the chance to pick one of these up for cheap, not really my style but cheap is good and it's a monster of a plane. 81" wing span!! Come on that's cool. It's RTF, I think the motor is a tad small but if it flys is it worth buying it?? Thanks guys and gals. BobK I'm not putting a V8 in it lol!!!

Sorry should have throw a picture up. Here it is. Can I add flaps to this thing?

 

[roversgonemad]

If the price is right, I'd scoop that up if I were you. The prop looks small, but it's probably fairly scale. I am sure you could add some flaps, you just have to be willing to perform some surgery.

I let it go, the thought of having two big planes to finish up was just too overwhelming. The prop is small cause the motor was small for it. It was only a .46 and it needs a .60 to .90 the wing was also one piece, at 81" it would be hard to get to the field. Could of stuck it out the window of the neon I guess lol!!

Yeah, sounds like it would have ended up costing a lot. I have seen a Cessna with a flat 4 (or was it6?) on YouTube ;-) lol but who wants a nose dragger anyway? ;-)

Btw, the 180 is a tail dragger.

Hey Leo I tried to change it after I realized my mistake but could not figure out how, it was a Cessna 182. Oh well it's gone now. I also traded my e-flite Ultimate 20-300 biplane this weekend for a visionaire. My son is getting ever so close to wanting to fly a 4 channel plane(other than his sport cub s) so thought the visionaire would be a nice slow but fun flyer for him. Thanks guys.

If he wants a large, slow, and easy to fly plane... ...look up BAD SPAD...

Too bad it wouldn't work for you, it looks like a good plane other than the small engine. Unless you have a trailer or large vehicle, carting a big bird to the field can ce a real problem!

 

[Frequent crasher]

Yeah, with size comes transportation problems!

 

[Mytmerc83]

i could have moved it around in my truck but the neon is sooooo much cheaper on gas. leo I'm just getting into bigger stuff so my boy is a little behind a bad spad from a sport cub s seems overkill. but it's an option for sure. he wants to fly my bloody baron it,s way over powered and flys on rails. can be gone from sight in seconds. It's a blast!!!

 

[Frequent crasher]

Sounds fun! If you decide to build a bad spad, let me know as there are some mods that have not made it to the plans yet. ...to busy to take the time to update them...

And trying to get mine back into the air!
