@giken73 its not the gears, ur coming in too hard and/or not landing with ur rear wheels touching down slightly before the nose. This is how ur supposed to land with any tricycle geared plane. BTW i love the 2 position flaps, they make it so u can not only take off quicker but fly it at extremely slow speeds for fly-bys and landing. Not to mention if you accidentally fly too long and lose power its still fairly easy to keep some altitude and land safely with full flaps! I love this plane..
it does have a spring front gear but if you have a hard front landing or land on rough grass it breaks easy...its cheap to fix and i used 5 min epoxy where the gear meets the fuselage and its worked so far
It was a xmas gift from my uncle we fly together all the time this is my 3rd rc plane and my faverite this video was my first time flying this plane i got the landings down now.
@ramis182 it works perfectly fine as long as u have enough altitude and don't point the nose down when ur inverted... its a common error to continue pulling up on the aileron stick instead of down when inverted which causes an upside down nose dive. overall though cessna's aren't designed for aerobatics lol
@Lithoushine I think he knows what it SHOULD look like. He's just having trouble doing it. I have this plane as well, and with the flaps down, it sets down so nice and soft, it's a thing of beauty.

how is the nose gera holding up? does it have a spring wire to help make landing easier?

@giken73 what makes it hop like that is the way he's landing. watch a video of a real cessna landing and then try to land like that.
@Lithoushine The video on Skyzone's website shows this plane landing beautifully.
@giken73 Do you fly with the lights on?
I like the song ... is that a commercial piece or smoething from someone you know! Good vid!
@71259mark The lights are on all the time as long as the battery is connected.
@71259mark he said he thought it was the spring on the front wheel making it bounce like that but really its the way hes landing
hey great video, but DO NOT BARREL ROLL WITH THIS THING, IT DOES NOT WORK......trust me......been there done that.....ended BAD.
Some fuckin song I found on TH-cams music bro
@71259mark ok
