I have over 200 RC model Airplanes of every category in my collection. This "Trainer" is still one of my favorites. You still have to pilot it for it to fly.
As my experience grew, so did the batteries that I put in it. First it was the 2200mah 3S.. and now it is the 3300mah 4s... I love the added weight and super long flight time. Do not full throttle for any prolonged time on 4s.. but I love flying it at just over half throttle..
If I ever crash this model, it will be immediately replaced with an identical one.

For all the new pilots: Keep your speed up and practice extended low angle banks.. don't try to make it turn too sharp. It is a Cessna analog, not a Pitts special.
On landing keep it level with 2 degrees up nose and control the glide with throttle..
Enjoy.

I bought this figured the price wasn’t bad with the radio and battery RTF package.
Packing is good overall the aircraft looks good.
The wiring is a spaghetti I moved the receiver and that was fun wires are short
The wires marked gear are the lights
And aileron are not marked.
So pay attention to what’s what before you move it.
Parts fit ok for China.
But if you don’t want to build something from the ground up then this one is a good Choice .
God bless!

For $200 RTF i figured it be a fun plane to fly, installation was not as easy because the instruction book had dark photos and didn't make sense. finally got it together, the included radio and receiver was not paired from factory and the radio is trash, didn't work at all so I installed my Futaba and it seemed to work when tested it all. got to the field and tested all the servos and throttle again, taxied around to get the feel. throttled up and jumped right up at first then about 1 second later it did a nose dive for the ground. servos where not backwards. Guess it was afraid of heights lol. $200 down the drain. I am very disappointed because it looked like a great plane to fly. but that's all part of this expensive hobby. I personally would never buy this plane or any FMS models again. i have the carbon cub by Horizon Hobby also sold by tower hobbies and that's a great flying plane. That's what i would recommend buying if you can afford the $300 price tag. I've actually had several rough landings in high gusts and even crashed it from a 50 foot or so nose dive and it still fly's great.
Basically i would not recommend this FMS plane for a beginner. 2 stars because it looks cool and detailed but something goes wrong and the quality of radio is bad.

Is anyone else sick of Chinese produced products and instruction manuals that are written in Chinglish? Get rid of this stuff already.
