Cessna 182

[mr_jumpy]

Just wondering if anyone owns one of these Just got myself one for the newbie me.

Was thinking what this plane could or couldn't do first before I start its maiden flight :P

Thanks a million :P

[mr_jumpy]

Attempted to fly this plane but it doesn't seem to take off from the ground even though I have given it full throttle and pull up the elevator flaps

kept moving to the left side which I cannot figure out why.

any pros out there can help me on this? any flyers at tuas?

Maybe you should share what size is your plane and power setup?

Hi Mr Jumpy.
Perhaps you can try change your batt to lipo 3s .. This will lighten the weight of the plane and give more power for R.O.G
btw did you check your thrust line and C.G as well.
Happy flying...
cheers

May not have enough power to ROG or the undercarriage not straighten . Can try hand launch. Good luck

i see... thanks for the advice... no wonder some webby that sells this plane demonstrated the plane wif lipo batts

i personally felt the plane is a little heavy for the engine too :P

What's ROG? tried hand launch... the whole thing just nose dived

guess i'll try to reduce the weight first and see how it goes :P

ROG= raise off ground

Run On Ground.

My fren's 9258 flew with stock motor and batt.. hand launch.
Have you got enough elevator throw? Don't be too eager to climb as the stock setup do not have enough power. 3 cell lipo might provide that extra power

ROG= raise off ground

Hehe.. always tot ROG is run on ground

R.O.G. define as (Rise off ground = take off from runway)..
The whole plane just nose dive.. can be nose heavy..try to swift the batt a bit backward and check the C.G. again to see if its balance..look up the instruction manual for the C.G. point of your plane.. BTW a bit nose heavy is good but not too much ok...
all the best
