Cesssna C188 AgWagon

[smuzsr]

Just did a maiden this morning on this plane. 4s is certainly more than enough. take off and cruising around is at half throttle.  Had a 4200 sqeezed in and got 5 th 6 5 minute flights, and could have gone for one more. Had to make a change to it though to get it more scale looking. Anyone see the change?

I give up. What did ya change?

It's hard to tell in this picture, but I shortened the landing. Full size AgWagon legs are not that long.
To me this looks right.
4s 2200 arrived for it yesterday after I flew it. Boy they're small compared to the 3300 I used to test fly it.

How do you like it smuzsr? I've been looking at that one for awhile now.... Can it be flown scale speeds?

With the 2200 4s it slows right down. I like it alot. Handles very well. If you like cropdusters you'll like this one.

Ordered one that was scratch and dent.... Thanks again for the info!

Got to fly it with the new 4s 2200. Make sure you get the cg right or it will go nose up real quick.

RE: Cesssna C188 AgWagon

Thanks smuzr! I ordered the 2500mah battery just to be sure it's a bit nose heavy. Hopefully if the weather is cooperative I can maiden it this coming weekend. It's not looking good though... :(

I love this plane. It's easily one of Dynam's best, in my book. Hassle free flying and better power than I expected.

RE: Cesssna C188 AgWagon

Can't wait to try it Alpha! Tell the guys in the warehouse they did a great job at fixing and then mending the plane. It looked so good i almost felt guilty buying it as a scratch and dent.... Almost.... LOL! The build was my first Dynam plane and I was very impressed with the fit of the foam parts. Very well done... It's sitting in the other room ready to go, waiting on a weekend with some decent weather. Looks like rain this weekend... Sigh.....

Hey Flychick , I mounted my Mobius on the nose with rubber bands . Think I got it a little tight , some vibrations show up . The prop is balanced but guess it just wanted to .

Hey FlyBry! That came out pretty darn good vibrations or no! It looks like it tracks really really well? I didn't know you had the blue one too. :-) Does it nose over easy in the grass?

RE: Cesssna C188 AgWagon

I took the stock wheels off and put on the Dubro low bounce . It added a little nose weight but its ok on the CG . I am about 50/50 on nose overs with everything ....   I suck lol

[Flygirl]

RE: Cesssna C188 AgWagon

Baloney.... You don't suck at all... The reason I asked is because it feels, (just building it as I haven't flown it yet) like it would be prone to nose overs as the gear is pretty close to the CG unlike the Pandora where it's pretty far forward. Pandora has much bigger wheels too. I noticed also that Ryan, in his video, kept a lot of up to keep the tail planted when he was landing and taking off on the grass and in your vid on what I consider to be a very smooth field it went over. Gonna try Ryans idea when I finally get to fly it. :-)

RE: Cesssna C188 AgWagon

Yea I try to give it some up to plant the tail . Most times I get It just that video on the first landing I missed . I push to take off n land again when that happens. Handling on the ground is good but I do play the up on take offs too . 
Pay close attention to the rear wheel. Mine had a touch off glue in the rod tube but once I broke it loose , no problems

That's why mine was in the scratch and dent pile at Motion. LOL! Guess it got sent back and the guys in the warehouse fixed it. They did a good job from the looks of it. Got it 20 bucks cheaper...!
