Cartoon Cessna 182 RC Plane

This cartoon style RC model plane is based on Cessna 182. I just squeeze it into a chubby plane. This model is quite unique, because this is the second model from the models that I ever made, that needs counter weight ballast on the tail. The first one is T-6A Texan II model. The ballast is quite heavy, around 200 gram, so recommend to put the battery on the tail so you don't have to add ballast and will save about 200 gram of weight. With 1200 gram the plane is quite fast but with 1000 gram I believe it will more enjoyable. But after all the plane is easy to control, just add aileron rudder mixing about 40% for smooth turning.
