I love scale models!

[@looneytunes47]

i put soft foam tires on mine and it really cut down on that horrible hard plastic noise

[@danielgregory3295]

Better than a real Skylane--which won't do rolls, or fly inverted!😊❤

Nice, how strong was the wind?

[@KP-RCreviews]

Gust were in the 15mph - 17mph range.

[@looneytunes47]

Looks like its handling the wind very well

[@KP-RCreviews]

As you can tell in the video I did have a gyro but you can also see I had the gyro off at times as well. The Cessna handled the wind well even without the gyro and I never felt like I didn't have total control.

Why can’t they put soft rubber tires on these like FMS does with the PA-18 Super Cub and its balloon tires?

[@KP-RCreviews]

My contact at FMS has received feedback from me and other reviewers. I'm guessing there will be a change for the next production run but not sure when that might be.

[@looneytunes47]

Even softer foam ones help alot from my experiance

[@looneytunes47]

Nice to see a Rc Pilot with a light plane knowledgable enough to know there is no need for flaps on windy days thats a common mistake i always see Rc Pilots make and they stall and crash hard

[@KP-RCreviews]

Thanks for the comment. We had this conversation at the field on the day this video was shot. Agree, flaps not needed here and can actually cause issues instead of being beneficial.
