| I've been dying to get into this one! I
am a big fan of the Cessna family of planes. I have been up in both Cessnas and Pipers and I tend to like the Cessnas better.
This is how I received the plane from Nitroplanes at http://www.nitroplanes.com The shipment was fast and complete and I was alerted immediately to the out of stock status of the receiver that I was after and given the opportunity to cancel that portion if desired. I opted to get my radio elsewhere |

I purchased the plane and these other
items directly from Nitro Planes
Li-Poly 11.1V 1300-1800mAh Battery |
| The radio equipment is the Futaba 6EXAP system running a 6 channel fully programmable transmitter and 6 channel dual mode receiver that can be programmed to run other models with different presets for each one. It can also be programmed to run the ailerons as "flaperons". By plugging the left aileron into channel one and the right into channel six, a knob assigned to channel six uses the ailerons as flaps while still allowing aileron control. The 4 stock servos were traded in for higher torque servos. this RC should have a lot to offer |

I'm waiting on the receiver to arrive and then I will have everything to complete this guy. Delivery is expected on 12/28/2006. I'll go ahead and begin the preliminary build process now and post as I progress |
