I have one in the box, Du-Bro wheels, 1.75 front, and 2.25 rear ordered, and only other thing that needs modification is the lights, and whether they are flashing or solid. It's hard to imagine what FMS was thinking when they blinked the nav lights, and kept the "strobe lights" on solid on the wings. I owned N2597Q, a 182K model for 3 decades, and the white light on the trailing fuse is on solid, and the red "rotating beacon" on top of the tail should blink. The 182 is a great airplane, never gave me any real trouble in 2000 hours of flying barring a broken vacuum pump while FVR on top. But that's another story.
Thanks for sharing your experience with the BIG version... The lights are a bit goofy. Not sure why FMS and others just can't get it right. This one flies outstanding. Its a keep for sure.
Just tried to replace the tires with Du-Bro's. Got the front tire size wrong. 2.00 is the correct size. However, when spinning the stock nose wheel, it spins quietly and smoothly, so I will use the stock nose wheel. The mains actual size is between 2.25. and 2.5, so the 225T DuBro's will work fine. I had to use a washer on the inside to keep the DuBro from rubbing the wheel pant, and trim the outside wheel pant where the axle is captivated because the Dubro is a little wider than the stock. This allows the wheel to turn smoothly and quietly. The axle is all thread, so a little cured thin CA on the threads gave it a little better bearing surface. Now it's super smooth and quite. Tire will spin for several seconds with a good spin.
Regarding the big Fox gliders you mentioned: I really hope FMS did a better job on this Cessna than it did on them. Mine crashed on the maiden flight because of the way the elev-servo assembly was built, w/ a floppy long rod that couldn't stand the aerodynamic forces at the exit of loop, eventually making the elev 100% ineffective.That concept of using plastic parts inserted and glued to the foam also isn't good in the long term. The easily come off and cannot secure parts in place if you fly in turbulent conditions. The good about them is that they're made of EPO, which makes them immortal: Afther the most severe crash, just make sure you collected all pieces, dive them into boiling water and... PRESTO! They get back the their original shape just like Terminator's T-1000.
This aircraft looks amazing. From the other reviews I’ve seen the plastic tires are so loud it kills the scale vibe on landing. Your wheel change made all the difference Will. Great review.
Always a thorough and professional review, I liked your insights on various aspects of the new FMS product. For someone considering purchasing the model, your comments and additional modifications showcased in your video will surely be invaluable. Regards and Happy Flying.
Great improvements on this. Love the assembly refinements, electrical connectors, etc. I see they still have the noisy wheels like the 1400mm version. I greased my wheels on the old 182 and they are great now, I couldn't stand it sounding like a "toy" with squeaky wheels.
I'm sure FMS has a cargo container filled with these cheap hard wheels. Hope they run out of them soon and buy a new batch of softer wheels.. Thanks for watching and commenting
Thanks Adam.. Its a bit long, but I figured I might as well be thorough. I really like cruising around with this plane. Fun plane, looks great and flies as a Cessna 182 should... But will do a bit of aerobatics... Hope you like my soft dubro wheels...😎
Excellent presentation ! I loved how scale and gentle she seemed to fly. The behavior on floats really looked good. It seemed to be able to lift off the water much easier than your little Ranger. Speaking of the Ranger - I don't remember the details - but it seems there was an optimum placement of the step of the floats in relation to the overall CG. And in that regard, I was thinking that maybe the Ranger floats could do better if they were placed slightly farther forward overall. Just looking at your Cessna, it's stance sitting on the water seemed a bit tail low. ( Which I think is a bit more correct - and a good thing. ) The Ranger in comparison seemed to sit more forward or level while just sitting there. I think one aspect of the Cessna's arrangement is that the step is a bit more forward - and that once it is running along the water - it is easier for your up elevator to cause the plane to pivot (on the step) easier - get some positive incidence - and fly off. I hope you have good luck to figure it out with the Ranger. Thanks for another great video !
Thanks.. The Cessna is a keeper. Speaking of the Ranger.. You are right about the step on the pontoons. I'm going to review my assembly.. Maybe I goofed it up. Thanks for the support and thoughts about the Ranger.
I'm VERY new to RC flying (no plane yet, just RealFlight Simulator Training). For my eventual 1st plane I'm thinking either the FMS 1220mm Ranger EP V2 With Reflex V3 RTF of the FMS 1300mm PA-18 Super Cub with Reflex V3 RTF. My plane of choice when I'm feeling good about staying with it is the FMS Cessna 182 1.5m. Beautiful plane but I'm seeing that it is a lot of plane for a newb. What is your opinion of the Ranger versus the Super Cub for a first time flyer/buyer. Very helpful videos. Keep them coming!
Jim, Glad you are spending time on the Sim. It will certainly help you when you hit the flying field.. The Ranger is my go to plane for teaching new pilots. Primarily due to its slow flight characteristics and durable front landing gear. If you are flying off pavement or hard surface the ranger is the way to go. If you are flying from rough grass, then Super Cub is a good option. Biggest different is ground handling with a taildragger adds another level of skill.. This Cessna is a wonderful plane and flies great. But I think the Ranger is more forgiving to fly. The FMS RTF system are good, but the TX's aren't very good. You can't dial down the rates or even have a thottle cut. But with the new Refelx V3, you'll be able to dial down the rates. (Still no expo)... If you think you're going to grow in this hobby, I'd invest in a more capable TX... I have FrSky Taranis and Spektrum NX8.. Both great systems...
@@jimschaefer8798 can’t go wrong with the Ranger. I’m getting a V2 for testing/review. I have coupon codes in my description to save you a few bucks. Have fun
I used low bound rubber with tread 2.25 on the mains and a Foamlite 2" on front. (Its what I had laying around). I had to sand down the wheel pant a little to make room for the slightly wider wheel hub to get them to spin freely.. Not a big deal..
Hello Steffen, Great review, as usual! The plane is so beautiful and scaled (in my opinion), but why the heck did FMS put those flashing navigating lights and solid strobe lights?! We know, It should be vice versa. I haven't purchased my FMS 1500mm Cessna yet, but I was wondering if all of the wing lights are connected separately, so I could install a switch for the landing light, to start glowing when landing flaps are deployed (as I did on my FMS Sky Trainer). My other question is if the wingtip lights (nav and strobe) have some driver (like BJT transistor) to make them flash or if they are blinking LEDs by default? Because if they blink by default I'd like to change them with solid light LEDs (red and green) and to change the solid strobe lights with blinking ones. I'll be very grateful if you have time and will to check that, so I'll know what could be done and what will stay as it is. Again, thank you for this comprehensive review! Regards, Emo
Thanks.. Yes, you can make the nav lights static. But they are colored LED and I don't think I can change color. The other option is to move the Nav lights to the tips and move the tip lights to the landing light location... But getting them to switch on with flaps could require some re-wiring.. Isn't impossible and it might be worth the effort. I'm seriously thinking about it..
@@SteffenRC thank you for your reply! Just to make things clear for me - One can make the nav lights solid by changing them or re-wiring? P.s.: by installing a simple rc switch between the receiver and the landing light, she looks so realistic during landing flaps deployment on the final approach:)
@@emiliyanmartinov Yes, you can remove the nav lights from the flashing adapter they are plugged into and move that to the green board open 3pin plugs.. Hard to explain without a picture, but easy to do... Might do a video on this..
@@SteffenRC It will be very helpful! Now I think I got it - if there is a separate flashing adapter for the nav lights, it would be easy (hope that) to correct it. Because in all of the videos I've seen, I noticed only the green pcb, nothing else. Thanks!
Thanks for watching and commenting.. The shelf liner stuff is sold at most hardward stores as its used to line kitchen shelves. Comes in various colors. I just grabbed some from my wives collection..
I bought that plane 2 weeks ago... im still waiting for my gryo to come in to fly it and its driving me nuts i fly the little warbird planes but im afraid to fly the cessna without a gryo
Its a great plane. You'll really enjoy it. The Gyro stabilization mode will help you get comfortable as you learn, but switching to the Optimized mode (if you are using FMS Reflex) is a blast.. This plane is very capable... Take a look at my Beginner Series videos on my channel. I have a play list for this... Good luck.
Can you provide a link to the float kit? The websites do not clearly show which one to buy or either point to some floats that appear to be for a smaller a/c and are out of stock?
Funny thing. I just grabbed some wheels from my wheel drawer (lots of them). I'm using Dubro Low-bounce rubber on the mains and a foamlite on the front. Similar size to original. I did need to sand the retaining plastic bit on the wheel pants to make the wheel spin freely, but that was minimal.
I'm sure you can, but I don't think you'll really gain anything with using a CROW configuration on this plane. It will land super slow and nose high, without any stall tendencies...
Hi, I am considering ordering this plane as my first rc plane. Do I need to have the flight control box and the receiver? or Can I just use a Spektrum receiver with stabilization and bypass the flight control box?
You can use a Spektrum rx no problem. Its a great plane. Not the easiest to fly as a beginner, but if you are getting some help from a capable coach you'll minimize issues.
@SteffenRC my eyes like red! Subbed your channel 👍 excellent content and like how thorough you are explaining the kit. I was into R/C aircraft years ago. Love the smell of nitro!
