Thanks for the useful information! I built her stock and overall I found her to be a nice plane all together. I do not see any issues with my struts or my velcro so far. The batter bay is rare earth magnetic, so I can see that a piece of tape would not hurt. The main wings are really strong on the spar. No flexing that I can see. Thanks again and hope you enjoy your flights!!

Thank you!!
Thanks for the help …
Thanks for the help! Much appreciated!
This is a nice …
This is a nice trainer. If you have time on a simulator, as long as you are confident, you should be able to fly this cessna on main gears. If you choose to, you can start with a 4 channel but in a smaller aircraft as well.
Hmm. I have not …
Hmm. I have not seen any issues with my wing struts at all? It may be a cause of bad glue. I will check. This Cessna on floats does not like too many aerobatics. I will toss her around more when I film the video with the gears.

Thanks for the comment! If the struts were to come loose, it is a install fault. Not glued correctly of screw came loose. The one on the Cessna will never come off unless you decide to remove it. Camera grip on this on would be Ben, he’s my brother. Thanks again!
That guy is me 🙂 …
That guy is me 🙂 and you remember right. I had glued the struts nicely but still it came off, The whole piece that was holding strut glued into foam came out cuz foam broke off, not only you need to pay special attention on strut bars but also you might wanna add some bars to main wing to strengthen it. else see it coming down with snapped wings on loops. Pete is doing loops with careful control. apart from that its a good looking model.
as a beginner you …
as a beginner you might wanna go with a smaller foamie trainer. This is a big foamie and foamies this big not good as per my experience. when you are experienced pilot, like pete. then its ok to go with it.
you wanna re …
you wanna re consider buying this big foamie. I had issues when i tested it. wing struts come out during flight, battery pack straps are glued on main body using a wooden bar that looses its place on jerks due to heavy battery, main wings will snap if you do loops without careful control and plane is way too light for windy days. do not fly it on windy days lol
Nice flying Pete. …
Nice flying Pete. When I tested this bird from EDO, it crashed on first flight. Main Strut bar came out. Also try doing a full normal loop and see wings snap :). I then advised EDO model to put carbon tubes or bars inside the main wing to strengthen it. Seems they did it, cuz your flight shows main wing is very stable. also owners should tape the battery compartment cuz on windy days due to gusts, heavy battery takes the strapes n hangs out. LOL. with some preflight work, this is a good plane
You forgot your …
You forgot your radio at the lake! lol
Nice plane Pete,
Is the cessna 182 skylane from EDOMODELS the same size and stuff? I am definately getting this or the 182 for christmas!
