    Is that the eflite carbon z Cessna? I customize almost every plane I get, but for some reason I never thought of doing the same with this plane.

    Looks. Cool

        Mine has been upgraded to 4s CG is between 75-80mm not the slightly tail heavy factory cg that causes the hopping. Also use Robart scale 3inch wheels... Flew it 5 times yesterday... All greaser landings.

              • It was first discovered in 1975 in British Columbia. I cant think of any prop planes operated by Canada in 1975.

                  Twin Otter? First flight was in the 1965. They are still built on the west coast (in BC) and brought to Calgary for electronic completion.

                  Beech 18?
                  Buffalo 461?
                  What about the C-130?
                  DC-3?
                  CP-140 Aurora?

                  • If you Google "Five Eyes", you get something about a group of 5 nations in some sort of intelligence community.

                        I think the Canadian military at some point has used all of those planes, just not sure if it happened in 1975.

                        • I Guessed the Warthog and the Raptor correctly so far, so I'll Bet...…. It's a Large 1600mm Flightline Warbird, Single prop this year...…...Bearcat, Hellcat, or Wildcat is my guess. Hey, Maybe It will be a Nice New Corsair? Can't wait to see...

                          • SM, Welcome to posting here at the "Squawk". I hope you're right about a new US Warbird. Best, LB

                              A Hellcat, bear cat, or a corsair would really be a good plane, wildcat not so much.

                                  I highly doubt its a larger Bearcat since they already have a pretty good one in their lineup. But of all the warbirds it could be a Hellcat, BF-109 or Corsair since the current alternatives are economy Dynam models or FMS models that could be discontinued. But other than the typical warbird model I hope its something new that hasn't been done before.

                                  • But does "5 eyes" have any correlation to any of these guesses?

                                      There were 5 knobs on the Transponder which gave ATC "Eyes" on you? :Cool:

                                      • I am kinda thinking about the Flightline line up and whats missing. Perhaps a 1600mm P51 (five I) is coming.

                                          Now that I have nearly mastered the stock version, the upgrades should really help my landings improve.
                                          Thanx Ole Timer!
