FMS Cessna 182, PNP, BLUE, Spw. 1500mm, D-Power # FMS148PBU

The FMS Cessna 182 is a highly detailed model aircraft with a 1500mm wingspan, distinguished not only by its true-to-scale appearance but also by its incredibly realistic flight characteristics. The PNP model comes almost ready to fly with pre-installed electronics straight out of the box.

The Original The Cessna 182 is a small single-engine propeller aircraft that first appeared in 1956, with its development based on the Cessna 180. Due to its excellent stability, reliability, versatility, flexibility, and ease of handling, the Cessna 182 plays a significant role in general aviation. It is used in various fields such as private flying, flight training, business travel, aerial photography, aerial patrols, geographical surveys, and emergency medical rescues.

The Model Officially licensed by Textron Innovations, the FMS Cessna 182 with a 1500mm wingspan aligns with FMS's long-standing product philosophy: "Perfect appearance, excellent performance." Visually, the new Cessna 182 sets new standards in realism for foam aircraft. Scale details such as cockpit windows, cabin interior, antennas, exhaust vents, propellers, and navigation lights are faithfully reproduced. While the appearance has been meticulously recreated, the flight characteristics of the Cessna 182 have also been replicated.

Thanks to high-strength, lightweight EPO materials and a high-wing structure with a large wing area, the aircraft exhibits low wing loading and a high lift-to-drag ratio. With flaps activated, the FMS Cessna 182 can be precisely controlled even at low speeds and for short take-offs and landings (STOL) – it takes off from the ground within three meters and flies effortlessly at half throttle in the air.

The aircraft features a tricycle landing gear with shock absorption and large, wear-resistant tires that can withstand rough landings, allowing beginners to practice take-offs and landings with confidence. In accordance with international navigation light standards, LED lights are integrated into both wings, the rear of the fuselage, and the tip of the vertical stabilizer, enabling worry-free take-offs and landings in low light conditions and enhancing realism. Robust plastic struts provide additional strength to the wings during aerobatic maneuvers.

Furthermore, the design of the Cessna 182 reflects FMS's consistent approach to product development – rigorous and meticulous. The model uses a practical snap-lock structure, an integrated servo connector design, and ball-linkage for the control surfaces. These measures not only ensure the strength and stability of the aircraft but also significantly simplify assembly at the airfield, allowing for quick enjoyment of flying. The PNP configuration includes a 3541-KV840 brushless motor, a 40A brushless ESC, and seven precise 9g digital servos for ailerons, flaps, nose wheel steering, rudder, and elevator. All electronics are pre-installed and wired, ready for flight.

It is particularly pleasing that the 1500mm Cessna 182 can be equipped with the Reflex V3 Stabilization System (sold separately), which can be connected via Bluetooth and unlocks custom tuning functions. After downloading the app, users can choose between standard or custom modes according to their preferences.
