instead of easy fly,if not available in India, try easy star which is available with Sai and at a very good price.

hey sandeep ,
good idea 8-) but i prefer a large wing span like the easy fly!!
if not the easy fly , my second option would be the wild hawk!!
thnx,
happy flying ,

hi ,
mr.sai , it had been good dealing with you but my cessna has had no proper flight till date , always some some or the other problem , servo failure , esc failure !! now the motor is going on full throtle always , tried servo reversing , now even the gear comes out of its place , also i have changed 1 servo for the elevator !!

but i think i can take a chance to buy a glider , could you convert the glider into 4ch + brushless combo , totally how much is it coming to?

Sorry to know about the problem with the Cessna .
It is due to such experiences that we are not importing such RTF plane  versions
The Glider is 3 channel and converting to 4 channel is not advisable as the wing being polyhydral the effectiveness of ailerons is in doubt .
Yes the easy star is expensive  compared to the hobby city one but I would assume after your experience with the Cessna RTF  you   would give  buying another RTF plane version a serious thought .
It has been our observation that the products used in RTF plane versions from China are vastly different from the  stand alone products  supplied . eg we have had no issues with motors , esc's , servos etc when supplied separately but have had issues with RTF's planes .
With RTF Helis and plane ARF's  it is a totally different story they are value for money .
Hence  I will seriously advice you to  consider  assembling a glider like easy star  for longer term days of happy flying .
In fact our experience with the Multiplex Easy cub has also been great.

Hey Saheevan,

Even I have numerous chinese RTFs lying all over my house.. All of them were bought before I knew what to buy and what not to buy!! They have always conked out on me.  Better to get a ARF and put in stuff that you can trust!!  My suggestion, close your eyes and go for the Easy Star / Cub!! They are great!!  The initial 2k or 3k more would make sure that you do not reinvest!! My Easy Star is still with me after almost 2 years of solid running! And I have done a brushless conversion and it is one of my best models!!

yes ,
i will be going in for a ARF , does the multiplex easy cub come RTF or ARF , with servos?? also will you be able to probably find the solution 2 my cessna pls , when i switch on the throtle switch , the trotle opens on full , then the gear slider out, i have tried servo reversing , it still doesnt solve the problem.... i am still using the stock ESC , but as it seems to give problems , id later on (2months ) get my cessna converted into brushless , though the 27mhz receiver is spoilt , i bought a 72mhz and a Futaba Tx..... as of right now , i am busy , will purchase a plane with in 1month , but felt Easy fly had a enormous wing span so felt tempted to go 4 it!!
thanks

I think Mr. Sai has a brushless combo available for the Easy Cub.  Well proven setup.  I can vouch for that as I have personally flown the model and it flies great.  But Easy Star should be a much more fun model as it can glide better (not that the Easy Cub cant glide  ;))!!  But if you like ROGs and three point landings, then go for the Easy Cub!

Just as I thought the landed cost is about equal to buying it locally our price is around the same  ;D in fact with the 5 % discount for this forum members I guess we might be a bit cheaper  ;)
